Does the court need to consider all the relevant factors before making a decision on a "checklist" of factors?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Volovsek v Donaldson, 2019 BCSC 1820 (CanLII):

In Weber v. Leclerc, 2015 BCCA 492 at paras. 22 and 25 the court cautioned against a "checklist approach". Rather, the court should "holistically" examine all the relevant factors.
