What is the test for variation of existing orders?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from B.L.S. v. E.J.S., 2014 BCSC 1549 (CanLII):
I have instructed myself on the principles applicable to variation of existing orders and the parties’ burden of showing a material change of circumstances, as lately discussed in Powell v. Levesque, 2014 BCCA 33. I note, however, that an accounting of the parties’ compliance with their obligations under the existing orders occupies most of these reasons.
