What are the implications of the Social Security Advisory Board's (SSAG) decisions?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Bockhold v. Bockhold, 2010 BCSC 214 (CanLII):

The Court of Appeal has noted that the SSAG are not binding, most recently in Mann v. Mann, 2009 BCCA 181 at paras. 72-73, where they were described as a useful tool to establish a pattern of predictable awards. However, the British Columbia Supreme Court still retains “a broad discretion”.
