The following excerpt is from Tschudi v. Tschudi, 2007 BCSC 1639 (CanLII):
I note, parenthetically, that Thynne v. Thynne also stands for the proposition that a court, within its inherent jurisdiction, is capable of amending a divorce order notwithstanding that there is no ability to appeal such an order, and notwithstanding that the error goes beyond what can be corrected under the slip rule. The parties ought, in this case, to seek an amendment to the divorce order to reflect the proper date of the dissolved marriage. I am unable to grant such an order today because I do not have the necessary parties in front of me. In accordance with the law as stated in Thynne v. Thynne and the earlier case of Hampson v. Hampson [1908] P. 355, it is probably necessary to seek an amendment of the Statement of Claim at the same time as an amendment of the order is sought. Is the Previous Divorce Voidable?
