What is the test for interim relief in a family law action?

Saskatchewan, Canada


The following excerpt is from Poultney v Poultney, 2011 SKQB 420 (CanLII):

In Jacobson v. Jacobson 2011 SKQB 402, [2011] S.J. No. 640 (QL), the court observed: 1. Counsel is reminded that interim relief in family proceedings is generally to be sought in order to: 1. Manage the process or procedure of the action; 2. Preserve assets and keep the parties "whole" until trial; and 3. Provide interim relief, in the form of support/maintenance orders, use and preservation of family property, financial management pending settlement or trial, and to insure adequate parenting. 2. Interim relief is not generally available to resolve issues in contest. A trial or pre-trial allows for a more thorough and judicious resolve of the issues. Generally, most issues should not be resolved in chambers upon conflicting affidavit evidence.
