What is the test for exercising residual jurisdiction in a third party claim?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Sekela v. Cordos, 2015 BCSC 732 (CanLII):
The plaintiff argues the court should exercise its residual discretion as a forum of last resort. The plaintiff relies on Josephson v. Balfour Recreation Commission, 2010 BCSC 603, submitting that it stands for the proposition that the court can exercise discretion to hear a third party claim where the only practical approach is to have all matters related to the cause of the plaintiff’s injuries heard together.
