How have the courts in BC dealt with the issue of impecunious behaviour of the petitioner?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from McAnerin v. British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BC SPCS) et al, 2005 BCSC 1835 (CanLII):

I will address each of these arguments in the order advanced. While there is some evidence that the petitioner is impecunious (here, I refer to the fact that she was granted indigent status for the purpose of the proceeding under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act), that alone does not justify a departure from the ordinary rule (see Robinson v. Lakner, [1998] B.C.J. No. 1047 (B.C.C.A.)).
