The following excerpt is from 469238 B.C. Ltd. (Lawrence Heights) v. Okanagan Aggregates Ltd. (Motoplex Speedway and Event Park), 2016 BCSC 721 (CanLII):

To be certain that pure economic loss is different and distinguishable from the kind of claim arising out of injury to person or property as contemplated by s. 3(2)(a), one need only look to the discussion of the issue in Moses v. Lower Nicola Indian Band quoted above.
