The respondent in a family law proceeding brought a motion for extensive financial disclosure from the applicant, including business records, bank statements, and property valuations.
The applicant argued she did not keep business records after 2015 because she was exempt from filing income tax returns under the Indian Act.
The court granted the motion, holding that while the applicant may not have to keep records for tax purposes, she is still obligated to produce proper accounting records and valuations for the family law proceeding to determine income and property division.
