British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Tracy v. Instaloans Financial Solutions Centres (B.C.) Ltd. et al, 2006 BCSC 1018 (CanLII):
The plaintiff submits that this threshold is met. She says that, with the exception of the liability of the directors, the claims made in this action are identical to those recognized in Bodnar. With respect to the claims against directors, she notes that a similar claim was found to disclose a cause of action in Tschritter v. Rent Cash (2004), 2 B.L.R. (4th) 309, 2004 ABQB 590.
