Moll v. Parmar
This is an application by the defendant before me in my capacity as the assigned trial judge not to admit into evidence the report of the economist, Robert Carson, dated June 28, 2012, served July 3, 2012. The defendant opposes the admissibility of Mr. Carson's report on the following basis. First, it was not served within the time limits for serving expert evidence as per R. 11-6(3) of the Supreme Court Civil Rules. Secondly, the opinion regarding the value of the plaintiff's financial dependency on his wife, Zlata Moll is not relevant to any of the issues raised in the pleadings filed to date. In the alternative, the defendant seeks an order adjourning the trial....

Trinden Enterprises Ltd. v. Ramsay
In March 2002, Mr. Cocco, the principal of the plaintiff company, Trinden Enterprises Ltd. (Trinden), entered a contract to purchase two acres of vacant industrial land at 1368 Kingsway Avenue, Port Coquitlam. The defendant Mr. Ramsay refused to complete the sale in mid-May 2002. The plaintiff company sued for specific performance. In February 2004, Meiklem J. held that the plaintiff was entitled to damages and not specific performance. This decision is indexed at 2004 BCSC 226. An assessment of damages was overturned on appeal and led to this re-trial. I find that the plaintiffs are entitled to damages for the reasons that follow.The Parties...

Moll v. Parmar
The plaintiff seeks to have the trial of this action heard by the court with a jury. The application was heard on July 12, 2012. It raises the issue as to whether under the Supreme Court Civil Rules, which came into effect on July 1, 2010, a party which did not file a jury notice may, nonetheless, rely on a jury notice filed by another party and secure a trial by jury by paying the required fees. In light of the pending trial date being August 13, 2012, I am delivering these oral reasons for judgment today. I reserve the right to edit these reasons although that process will not involve a change in the decision or in the reasoning....
Culos v. Chretien
Six years ago the plaintiff was traversing a crosswalk in downtown Kamloops, B.C., when he was struck by the defendants car. Neither party saw the other until the moment of impact. Liability for the collision is in issue because, while the defendant acknowledges her own fault, she says that the plaintiff was contributorily negligent for failing to look out for his safety....
