Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Cave v. Cave, 1988 CanLII 4983 (SK QB):
In Leblanc v. Leblanc (1988), 1988 CanLII 96 (SCC), 81 N.R. 299; 84 N.B.R.(2d) 33; 214 A.P.R. 33; 47 D.L.R. (4th) 1 (S.C.C.) it was pointed out, at p. 5 [D.L.R.], that a court should be loath to depart from the basic rule of equal division, but should do so in clear cases where inequity would result. However, it was further pointed out that this does not mean that a court should put itself in the position of making fine distinctions regarding' the respective contributions of the spouses during the marriage.
