British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Holmberg v. McMullen, 2019 BCCA 475 (CanLII):
The threshold question is, however, whether I should exercise my discretion to grant leave to appeal where the issue is moot. That exercise of discretion is governed by the principles articulated in Borowski v. Canada (Attorney General), 1989 CanLII 123 (SCC), [1989] 1 S.C.R. 342.
