How has the court in Shepley considered "double dipping" in equalization payments?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Leitch v. Novac, 2019 ONSC 794 (CanLII):
The court in Shepley adverted to the principles in Boston v. Boston[83] with respect to the conclusion that “double dipping” was inequitable. However, the court cited Meiklejohn v. Meiklejohn,[84] for the proposition that in certain cases the rationale for avoiding double recovery is not applicable. In that case, the wife was in poor health and received only a modest equalization payment.
