What is the test for a vexatious litigant order?

In Lindsay v. Canada (Attorney General), 2005 BCCA 594, Donald J.A. cited at para. 25 the following non-exhaustive list of principles that may be considered on an application for a vexatious litigant order: (a) the bringing of one or more actions to determine an issue which has already been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction constitutes a vexatious proceeding; (b) where it is obvious that an action cannot succeed, or if the action would lead to no possible good, or if no reasonable person can reasonably expect to obtain relief, the action is vexatious; (c) vexatious actions include those brought for an improper purpose, including the harassment and oppression of other parties by multifarious proceedings brought for purposes other than the assertion of legitimate rights; (d) it is a general characteristic of vexatious proceedings that grounds and issues raised tend to be rolled forward into subsequent actions and repeated and supplemented, often with actions brought against the lawyers who have acted for or against the litigant in earlier proceedings; (e) in determining whether proceedings are vexatious, the court must look at the whole history of the matter and not just whether there was originally a good cause of action; (f) the failure of the person instituting the proceedings to pay the costs of unsuccessful proceedings is one factor to be considered in determining whether proceedings are vexatious. (g) the respondent’s conduct in persistently taking unsuccessful appeals form judicial decisions can be considered vexatious conduct of legal proceedings. See also Dawson v. Dawson, 2014 BCSC 44 at paras. 15ff. [Dawson]
