What are the grounds for appellate interference in a support order?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from Boggs v. Boggs, 2002 MBCA 54 (CanLII):
17 The general rule applicable to cases of this kind is that this court will not interfere with a support order unless there has been an error in principle, a substantial misunderstanding of the facts or an obvious error: see Hickey v. Hickey, 1999 CanLII 691 (SCC), [1999] 2 S.C.R. 518. Although these grounds for appellate interference may be sufficient in this case, I would add as a further ground the presentation to the court of facts which are obviously incorrect or incomplete.
