British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Samra v. Guru Nanak Gurdwara Society, 2009 BCSC 1852 (CanLII):

He also refers me to my decision in Samra v. Guru Nanak Gurdwara Society, 2007 BCSC 882, and argues that there must be some connection between an irregularity proven and the relief sought. He submits that there is no such connection or nexus here because if there was an irregularity it did not affect the results of the Election.
