Can an investment advisor’s book of business be common property?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from S.G. v. K.G., 2012 BCSC 1937 (CanLII):

To be common property, the book of business must of course be property. The claimant relies on McLean v. McLean, [2004] O.T.C. 904 [McLean], in support of the proposition that an investment advisor’s book of business can be regarded as property, subject to division as a family asset.
