Does a judge have jurisdiction to enter an entered order on an order for sale of a property made at trial?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Therrien v. Therrien, 1997 CanLII 3442 (BC SC):
The plaintiff has referred me to the case of Fallis v. Fallis [1995] B.C.J. No. 1197, where Hunter J. revisited the order for sale of a family asset he had made at trial, and decided he had jurisdiction to make a compensation order. It is not stated in the decision whether the original judgment was made the subject of an entered order and the reasoning for the decision on jurisdiction is not set out, so it is not a persuasive authority, particularly in view of the distinguishing fact that this application is not before the trial judge.
