Is this an appeal of more than ordinary importance or of unusual importance?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Verchere v. Greenpeace Canada, 2004 BCCA 451 (CanLII):
The issue here is whether this was an appeal of "more than ordinary importance" or of "unusual importance". An appeal's importance is not to be determined by the length of the reasons for judgment. One of the most important cases in the history of the law of tort, Butterfield v. Forrester (1809), 11 East. 60, 103 E.R. 926, is a mere two pages.
