A series of transactions also includes “related transactions or events . . . in contemplation of the series” (s. 248(10)), which refers to transactions or events before or after the series which were undertaken “‘in relation to’ or ‘because of’ the series” (Copthorne, at para. 46, citing Trustco, at para. 26).
