Can a plaintiff in a personal injury case be deemed indifferent to the policy?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Lester v Alley, 2019 BCSC 736 (CanLII):

This Court considered a similar issue in Moreland v. Sutherland, 1999 BCCA 586 and noted that if this type of challenge were to be permitted, it would essentially preclude any policyholder from being indifferent and being a juror in this type of case.
