If the wife’s claim in bankruptcy is unhinged from proprietary vesting concerns, would the wife's claim have been deemed to be “too uncertain” to value?

New Brunswick, Canada


The following excerpt is from Gaunce v Gaunce, 2018 NBQB 40 (CanLII):

On the other hand, if I am in error in my interpretation and it really is as straightforward as it initially appeared (i.e. a debt claim unhinged from proprietary vesting concerns, akin to the nature of the one considered in Schreyer v. Schreyer, supra), then the trustee in bankruptcy would have had jurisdiction to entertain the wife’s claims. And, this would lead to the second threshold question earlier posed – would the wife’s claims nevertheless been “too uncertain” to value?
