What is the impact of interim orders on the disclosure of personal financial information?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from A.R. v M.E.R, 2022 BCSC 509 (CanLII):

Generally, interim orders are made on an incomplete and often inadequate record. The court is compelled to rely on affidavit evidence, usually of the parties themselves, which can be expected to be self-serving and selective. There is no opportunity for cross-examination and testing of the evidence adduced. As noted in Tedham v. Tedham, 2003 BCCA 600 [Tedham] (leave to appeal ref’d: [2004] 2 S.C.R. vii), at para. 59, financial disclosure is often incomplete.
