What is the current state of the law on the admission of assessments as evidence of value in a family law case?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Dosanjh v. Liang, 2015 BCCA 18 (CanLII):
I acknowledge, again, that these sorts of difficulties have not always been seen as precluding the admission of assessments as evidence of value in family law cases (see, for example, Dykman v. Dykman, 2011 BCSC 883). Whatever discretion a court may have to admit such evidence in a family law case, however, it did not have that discretion in the case before us.
