In what circumstances will a judge at the Court of Appeal review a support order?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Khan v. Khan, 2009 CanLII 71715 (ON SC):
In Hickey v. Hickey, 1999 CanLII 691 (SCC), [1999] 2 S.C.R. 518 L’Heureux-Dubé, J. stated at paragraph 12: There are strong reasons for the significant deference that might be given to trial judges in relation to support orders. The standard of appellate review recognizes that the discretion involved in making a support order is best exercised by the judge who has heard the parties directly. It avoids giving parties an incentive to appeal judgments and incur added expenses in the hope that the appeal court will have a different appreciation of the relevant factors and evidence.
