Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Ferguson v. Ferguson, 2014 NSSC 350 (CanLII):

An opposite result is found in Bourque v. Gerlach, 2006 BCCA 157 (C.A.) where Rowles, J.A. reversed a trial decision which imputed income to a payor. Imputation was an error where medical evidence, including that of an independent examiner, linked the serious health needs of the payor to an inability to work.
