The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench allowed the application.

Family Law - Topic 867

Husband and wife - Marital property - Distribution orders - Interest on awards - A husband and wife divorced in 1994 - The husband kept the marital home - Accordingly, he had to make an equali­zation payment to the wife of one-half interest in the home - The wife sought prejudgment interest on her one-half in­terest - The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench allowed the application - The court stated that the Judgment Interest Act assumed that interest would be paid on money awards - Accordingly, the court's over-riding statutory discretion to refuse prejudgment interest has been restricted by the Court of Appeal to situations that were "compelling" - Here there were no com­pelling circumstances to disallow the ap­plication.
