Is a motion brought before this court to amend a decree nisi so that it reads as it should have read when it was issued in May 1983?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Dennis v. Wilson, 1998 CanLII 3515 (ON CA):
In 1985, in Richardson v. Richardson, 1 R.F.L.(3d) 67, a similar motion was brought before this court in a matter involving child maintenance -- although not its taxability. The court stated on p.68: ....we think it clear that the judgment of the court as entered, which gave effect to the reasons for judgment, amends the decree nisi so that it now reads as it should have read, in our opinion, when issued on 12th May 1983. The effect of the judgment was to make the order which we think the trial judge ought to have made in the first place.
