The respondent wife brought a motion seeking an order that the applicant husband provide a completed FSCO Application for Family Law Value for his pension.
The husband resisted the motion on the basis that the wife's claim for equalization was statute-barred and she must first obtain an extension of time under s. 2(8) of the Family Law Act.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the pension valuation was not necessary to determine the threshold issue of whether there were 'apparent grounds for relief' for the extension of time, and that ordering disclosure before the limitation issue was decided would run counter to the purpose of the statute.
