British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Farwell v. Farwell, 1979 CanLII 743 (BC SC):

It follows that the constitutional question to be determined in these proceedings is not whether the province has authority to legislate in respect of judicial separation, and the outcome, therefore, is not decided finally by the decision of this court in Salloum v. Salloum, supra.
