Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Toronto General Trusts Corporation v. City of Regina, 1922 CanLII 198 (SK CA):
In Cash v. Reunion, 11 Ves. 314, (32 E.R. 1109) the Lord Chancellor said: I cannot bring myself to doubt, that, where a man promises to pay £100 in London upon the 1st of January he ought to have that sum there upon that day. If he fails in that contract, wherever the creditor sues him, the law of that country ought to give him just as much as he would have had, if the contract had been performed.
