The following excerpt is from N.B. v. L.E., 2009 BCPC 395 (CanLII):
The mother says that it would be far more convenient to have the trial in Colorado – as there has been a hearing take place there already where expert evidence has been led. Such a decision ought not be based on the mere balance of convenience, although that is a factor to be considered. [Rogers v. Bank of Montreal p.107 Craig J.A.]
