British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Kenmar Inns Ltd. v. Letroy, 1994 CanLII 2387 (BC CA):

37 In my opinion, Wood v. Shearman is direct authority for the proposition that a correction under the old slip rule was not limited, at least in matters of costs, to "a point that the court has considered and decided in its reasons".
