What is the impact of a registrar's failure to provide the appropriate amount of support for a bankrupt?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Minister of National Revenue v. Sillito, 1993 CanLII 7105 (AB QB):
Of additional use in evaluating this information are the guidelines established by the superintendent. Although not having the force of statute (Westmore v. McAfee (1988), 1988 CanLII 187 (BC CA), 67 C.B.R. (N.S.) 209 [[1988] 3 W.W.R. 593] (B.C.C.A.)), these guidelines provide a useful measure of what would be appropriate for the necessaries required to support the bankrupt and his family. A significant deviation from these guidelines, as seems to be the case here, calls into doubt again whether the registrar properly addressed the evidence before him.
