The following excerpt is from Finch v. Bell, 2011 BCSC 1480 (CanLII):
The courts have identified some additional factors for consideration in addition to those set out above. These include the following: the amount involved; the complexity of the matter; the cost of a conventional trial in relation to the amount involved; the course of the proceedings; the time required for summary trial; and whether the application will really save time and complexity: Dahl v. Royal Bank. [Emphasis in original.]
