The following excerpt is from Gundersen v. Volrich, 1989 CanLII 2677 (BC CA):
In the case now before us, no judgment had been perfected before the appellant asserted that there was a limitation on her solicitor's authority. Judgment was entered after it was known the plaintiff disputed that authority and without the court facing the issue of whether, in fact, the solicitor had authority. For if he had not, this case is no different from Shepherd v. Robinson and should have been restored to the list.
