What jurisdiction does the Court of Appeal have to set off two judgments?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Jamieson v. Loureiro, 2011 BCSC 1251 (CanLII):
This court has an inherent jurisdiction to set-off two judgments. It is sometimes called an “equitable” jurisdiction, but only in reference to a need to achieve fairness, rather than to any connection to the courts of equity: see Reid v. Cupper (1914), [1915] 2 K.B. 147 (C.A.). Because it is based on a need to achieve fairness, the court has discretion in deciding whether to apply it. iv) Discussion
