Branko Skrak

Respondent (Appellant)

Counsel:

Veena Pohani, for the appellant

Martine Ordon, for the respondent

Heard and released orally: February 24, 2025

On appeal from the order of Justice Ranjan K. Agarwal of the Superior Court of Justice, dated March 15, 2024, with reasons reported at 2024 ONSC 1574.

REASONS FOR DECISION

[1] The appellant contends that the trial judge made numerous errors in his assessment of the evidence with respect to spousal support, life insurance, occupation rent, and the value of the net family property. We are not persuaded that the trial judge made any error of law, of principle, or any palpable and overriding error of fact. In essence, the appellant asks us to retry the case, which is not our role.

[2] The appellant also seeks an adjustment of pre- and post-judgment interest. These issues were not argued at trial and are not properly before us.

[3] The appeal is accordingly dismissed. Counsel have agreed that costs of the appeal are to be fixed at $5,000 all inclusive, payable by the appellant to the respondent.
