Abstrakt: Focuses on the case "Z.I. Pompey Industrie v. ECU-Line N.V." that deals with the strong test and fundamental breach with respect to bill of lading forum selection clauses under Canadian law. Court's clarification that the "strong cause" test must be used in deciding applications to stay proceedings under section 50 of the "Federal Court Act" in the presence of jurisdiction clauses; Court's reiteration that fundamental breach is a question of construction rather than a question of substance; Court's decision that the issue of fundamental breach should be determined after determination of the appropriate court to hear the case in the light of the jurisdiction clause.
