How is retroactive support calculated using the current tables in the calculation of pre-judgment interest?
Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
The following excerpt is from Shears v Shears, 2019 NLCA 40 (CanLII):
The usage of current tables in calculating retroactive support was not raised as an issue on appeal. As there was no argument on this point, I offer no opinion on the appropriateness of such a practice, and whether it accomplishes the same goals as pre-judgment interest, namely recognition of the impact of inflation and the impact of the recipient being denied the opportunity to utilize the funds at the time they were due (Courtney v. Cleary, 2010 NLCA 46, 299 Nfld. & P.E.I.R. 85, at para. 88).
