What is the test for determining entitlement for a student's expenses?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Diaz v. Pena, 2016 ONCJ 88 (CanLII):

121. Therefore the court must first determine the issue of entitlement for a particular expense. A review of the cases reveals that judges across Canada have wildly differing views of what constitutes reasonable and necessary extracurricular expenses - even in the case of the same type of expense and with parents with incomes in the same range. Sometimes they are allowed and sometimes they are not: Smola v. Roger, [2002] O.J. No. 1254 (S.C.J.), para. 11.
