Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ilic v. Calgary Sun, 1998 ABQB 419 (CanLII):
All parties agreed that more than simply the contribution of funding was required to make out this tort. There also must be evidence of "officious or improper" intervention by the proposed Defendants by Counterclaim in order to make out a claim based on maintenance; see Young v. Young 1993 CanLII 34 (SCC), [1993] 8 W.W.R. 513 (S.C.C.).
