Steve Chouinard

Respondent (Respondent)

Danette A. Edwards and Edward S. MacDonald, for the Applicant Director, Family Responsibility Office

Heard: October 1, 2008

On appeal from the Order of the Justice Michel Z. Charbonneau of the Superior Court of Justice, Family Court, dated January 14, 2008.

APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1] The matter involves a claim for less than $25,000 and a judgment in an amount of less than $25,000. The impugned part of the Order (para. 3) referable to the Director’s right to the statutorily mandated enforcement fee cannot be construed as a free-standing declaration but is rather an explanation for a denial of part of money ($400) claimed by the Director in the proceedings.

[2] This Court has no jurisdiction to hear the appeal. The appeal is quashed without prejudice to commencing an appeal in the proper forum.
