Canadian Supreme Court rules separation agreements
posted by Adam on Sunday April 20, @03:04PM
from the Inequality dept.
Inequality Garth writes "An Ontario judge and later the Ontario Court of Appeals ruled that a spouse should be able to reopen separation agreements simply by showing a material change of circumstance (meaning whenever you feel like it). Now, the Canadian Supreme Court has reversed that and what's more has also stated that judges should not "presume an imbalance of power" between a husband and wife. So, not only do agreements actually mean something now, but the court seems to making a point that husbands aren't always the bad guys."

Hey Garth this is the same as the Edmonton Journal article I posted, it's great it means that women are actually responsible for signing a contract.

The husband must have been politically connected or something. Canadian feminist jurisprudence is far worse for men than anywhere else, and will stay that way for a long time unless revolution occurs. The case law is shocking! Read this document that I previously posted and you will understand. It's very long, but fascinating and revealing.

I agree, the judges did rule that exceptions can be made to this ruling. You can bet with the way Canadian family hating court judges operate they will soon be finding other ways to re-open agreements. I still think of this as a good thing, it is a victory.
