Does a change of circumstance in circumstances arising from an application to cancel or reduce arrears constitute a separate code of conduct?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Louksr v. Assadbeigi, 2010 BCSC 116 (CanLII):
As was held in Jones v. Anhorn, 2000 BCCA 213, the foregoing provisions constitute a separate code where the application is to cancel or reduce arrears. Cancellation or reduction of arrears does not, therefore, necessarily depend on a change of circumstance, although the finding of a significant and long-lasting change of circumstance is obviously a relevant factor in deciding whether to cancel or reduce arrears.
