What is the legal test for designation of assets by a judge?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from N.M. v. C.L.M., 2008 ABCA 108 (CanLII):
The actual designation of assets was within the discretion of the trial judge once the valuation was determined. The father notes correctly that such a decision should only be upset if it is so clearly wrong as to amount to an injustice (Elsom v. Elsom 1989 CanLII 100 (SCC), [1989]1 S.C.R. 1367). The trial judge did not consider irrelevant factors, nor fail to take into consideration the relevant factors.
