British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Canning v Canning, 2017 BCSC 2082 (CanLII):
As aptly observed by Mr. Justice Barrow in Jubinville v. Jubinville, 2013 BCSC 2262 at para. 37: What is required is "substantial compliance" not perfect compliance; put another way, what is important is whether there was a "significant departure from the general objectives of the Act", bearing in mind that those objectives include finality, certainty and contractual autonomy.
