When does spousal support end? Even at 71, the appellantโ€™s retirement didnโ€™t justify terminationโ€”but the BCCA reduced support after finding his income drop wasnโ€™t properly assessed. Huber v. Atwal, 2026 BCCA 35

ONSC set preโ€‘judgment interest at 2.75%, reflecting average market rates over five years. The court found the default 0.05% rate would not fairly compensate for lost use of money. Saulnier v. Postma, 2026 ONSC 1275

Good case to keep handy - Parenting dispute shows how unilateral school changes can backfire. ONSC ordered a child returned to her original school, stressing stability and bestโ€‘interests. Good review of the law requesting to change a childโ€™s school.

Interesting case - ONSC refused to force police to enforce parentingโ€‘time orders, stressing police discretion and childโ€™s best interests. Court pointed to remedies like contempt or changing primary residence and ordered costs against nonโ€‘compliant parent. www.canlii.org/en/on/onsc/d...

B.C.โ€™s Court of Appeal clarifies will interpretation, reaffirming the presumption that bequests vest at deathโ€”not at distributionโ€”unless clearly stated otherwise. The Court held that all children who survived the testator were entitled to their share.
