The respondents obtained default judgments in Alberta against the appellant for mortgage deficiencies after the appellant had moved to British Columbia.
The respondents then brought actions in British Columbia to enforce the Alberta judgments.
The Supreme Court of Canada held that the courts of one province should give full faith and credit to the judgments of another province if the originating court properly exercised jurisdiction.
The Court established the 'real and substantial connection' test, finding that the Alberta court had jurisdiction because the properties and contracts were located there.
The appeal was dismissed, and the Alberta judgments were held to be enforceable in British Columbia.
