Can an advance on damages be made under Rule 18A?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Rogers v. Anderson, 2000 BCCA 336 (CanLII):

The defendant opposed the application on the ground that an order for an advance on damages could not be made under Rule 18A. In support of his position, the defendant relied on the decision of Esson C.J.S.C., as he then was, in Thambaithurai v. Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, [1996] B.C.J. No. 691 (B.C.S.C.)(Q.L.).
