Canada Law

CanadaIn brief, I need a pension issue researched.

Specifically, my client's husband had his pension valued at age 62, 63.5 and 65. He was then fired from his employment after 37 years w/ cause and took his pension at age 55.

His counsel is refusing to have the pension re-valued for the purpose of equalization. My argument is that because equalization has not yet occurred, the fact that he is in receipt of his pension, the current value should be used to calculate the NFP.

Married 37 years; separated November 1, 2000; fired w/ cause October 2002; now in receipt of pension - 2003.

His counsel argues that retirement at 55 was not in contemplation at the date of separation and therefore not foreseeable that he would be fired and take early retirement.

My response:

You said, "CanadaIn brief, I need a pension issue researched."

Then, hire a paralegal in Canada to conduct your research. As it states in red words at the top of this page, "U.S. LAW ONLY."

My response:

You know, sometimes I have to wonder about the people of Canada and their level of intelligence. They are the only foreign nation that can't read plain, simple English.

We don't have any persons from any other foreign nation writing to FreeAdvice, yet Canadians, for some unknown reason, have a difficult time differentiating their laws from ours, and apparently they don't understand the phrase "U.S. LAW ONLY." It doesn't mean "Canadian law, sometimes" - - it means what it says, and says what it means!

Incredible.

"stop emailing me if you can not answer the question"

My response:

You give the impression that you're a Canadian attorney when you say, "my client's husband . . ." Is that a true statement? If that's a true statement, then that would lend credence to the belief that you're somewhat smart, that you're an educated person - - and one that can read and understand the English language.

It's not a matter of answering the question. Surely, as an attorney, you can certainly understand that there are differences in Canadian law and American law; e.g., our statutes on the subject, and our case law on the subject, are undoubtedly different.

So, how would quoting American law be of ANY help to you? And, certainly, you've heard of the words "jurisdiction" and "sovereignty", haven't you?

And finally, the words "can not" are supposed to be one word; i.e., "cannot."
