Court of Appeal for Ontario
Before: Simmons, Cronk and Blair JJ.A.
Between:
Cynthia Waye
Applicant (Appellant)
and
George Richard Cook
Respondent (Respondent in Appeal)
Counsel:
Michael H. Tweyman, for the appellant
D. Smith, for the respondent
Heard: June 10, 2015
On appeal from the order of Justice Nancy Backhouse of the Superior Court of Justice, dated May 1, 2014.
APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
1This court has no jurisdiction to hear this appeal. The formal order contains only the support orders made by the trial judge. As the appeal is from the formal order, not the trial judge’s reasons, Hanisch v. McKean, 2014 ONCA 698, does not apply.
2Further, the order for retroactive support for the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2014 in the total amount of $53,800 falls within the jurisdiction of the Divisional Court under s. 19(1.2) of the Courts of Justice Act. This is not a lump sum award; rather it is an order for retroactive support payable on a periodic basis.
3The appeal is transferred to the Divisional Court. No order as to costs.
