In what circumstances will the equal owning spouses of a family business receive equal family income from the business?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ridge Tool Company v. A & L Plumbing & Heating Ltd., 2010 SKCA 45 (CanLII):
While there is, in my view, merit in the approach of the British Columbia courts in Everett v. King, the rationale of that case would not apply with the same force in circumstances where equal owning spouses treated their respective incomes from the business, not as joint family income, but, individually, as separate and independent, for in such circumstances there would be no relevant distinction between the family business and a business co-owned by persons other than immediate family members.
