Flynn and Plumb (Child support)

The case of Flynn and Plumb concerned a dispute regarding child support assessments. The applicant, Flynn, sought to have the minimum annual rate of child support reduced to nil and to have the liable parent's (Plumb's) income for past periods reassessed at lower amounts. The matter came before Judicial Officer Bakas M.

The primary legal issues before the court were whether the minimum annual rate of child support should be reduced to nil, and whether the conditions for changing the liable parent's assessed income for past periods to lower amounts were met.

The Judicial Officer affirmed the decisions under review. The court found that the conditions for reducing the minimum annual rate of child support to nil were not satisfied. Similarly, the court determined that the conditions for changing the liable parent's assessed income for past periods to lower amounts were not met, meaning the existing assessments would stand.
