What is the test of sufficient cause for the issuance of a writ of summary judgment in a personal injury case?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Akitt v. McColl, 2002 BCSC 1086 (CanLII):

As discussed by Holmes J. in Schmidt v. Faryna (1994), B.C.J. No. 617 in somewhat different circumstances. . . . the test of sufficient cause has not been met here as the issuance of the writ in the circumstances could reasonably have awaited until it was known the plaintiff’s recovery was complete.
