What qualifies as a special or extraordinary expense?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Wiebe v Treissman, 2017 BCSC 1523 (CanLII):

It appears that the parties do not agree as to what qualifies as a "special or extraordinary expense". In order to guide them in the future I am going to briefly comment on the legal meaning of that phrase. I note that there is a similar summary in MacDonald v. Pink, 2011 NSSC 421 at para. 55, which may also be helpful.
