Crowe and Dallas (Child support)

The case of *Crowe and Dallas* concerned a dispute between the parties regarding child support payments. The matter came before the court for review of a previous decision.

The central legal issue before the court was whether a payment made by the father was intended by both parents to be in lieu of child support. A further issue arose from the fact that a particular payment had been credited twice.

The court considered the intention of both parents at the time the payment was made. It found that the payment was indeed intended to satisfy the child support obligation. However, due to the double crediting of a specific payment, the court varied the decision under review.
