The litigation guardian sought approval of a settlement for three minor plaintiffs following the death of their mother in a 2009 airplane crash.

The court had previously approved the settlement but required the draft order to be revised to comply with s. 121 of the Courts of Justice Act regarding foreign money obligations.

The court rejected the second draft order, finding it merely inserted formulaic statutory language without properly specifying the Canadian dollar equivalent or confirming whether the funds had already been received in trust.

The court directed counsel to file an amended affidavit and submit a further revised draft order.

The applicant brought a motion for temporary spousal support under the Family Law Act following an eight-year marriage.

The applicant was primarily a stay-at-home mother, while the respondent worked full-time and earned additional compensation through travel agencies.

The court imputed an additional $10,000 to the respondent's income for his travel agency work and ordered him to pay $1,100 per month in interim spousal support based on the parties' respective incomes and needs.
