Today we've got Part I in our multi-part release of Canada (AG) v Walsh! The extra special part of this episode is that it is read by our very own friend of the podcast Bennison Smith! We also did something a bit different this time - we brought on Bennison, in the (virtual) flesh, to chat about the decision with us! Before Bennison takes us away, he gives us some context to the decision, mentions that is is no longer 'good law' but it is still taught in law school [for the 'good law', see Quebec (AG) v A], explains property sharing regimes for cohabiting couples, and gets our endless thanks for contributing to our Family Law catalog of cases! Also, apologies it it's a bit glitchy in the intro - we're still working out the kinks with recording more than 2 people at a time!
