The appellant father appealed a child support order where the trial judge imputed income based on inferences drawn from his lifestyle and the quantum of voluntary monthly support payments he had made.
The first-level appeal judge upheld the decision, using a gross-up of expenses to verify the imputed amount.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the second-level appeal, finding no reviewable error in imputing income where the payor failed to disclose his true income, and deferred to the lower courts' discretion on the quantum.
