dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores the legal principles for dependent relief claims established by the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) in Tataryn v. Tataryn Estate in light of two Ontario Court of Appeal decisions that disagree on the applicability of Tataryn in Ontario. The disagreement is in part because in Tataryn the Supreme Court of Canada was interpreting British Columbia’s Wills Variation Act (WVA) and not Ontario’s Succession Law Reform Act (SLRA). In this thesis, traditional doctrinal legal research methods will be used to critique the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in Tataryn v. Tataryn Estate and advocate for its application in Ontario to balance the conflicting values of the Charter in deciding dependent relief claims.
