The Canadian legal system in every province except for Quebec is based on the British common law system. The Quebec province retains a civil system for issues of private law, however both of these legal systems are subject to the Constitution of Canada. Inside the commonwealth system everything is divided into areas like criminal law or civil law. It this article we will examine the Civil Law area and the Common Law area in Canada.

Common law

Canada belongs to a group of common law countries, so Canadian law adheres to the doctrine of stare decisis. In this system all the lower courts are bound by the decisions of higher courts and must follow it. But this works only inside one province, lower courts from two different provinces are not bound by each others decisions. The decisions made by a province’s highest court like the Court of Appeal, nevertheless are considered as “persuasive” even though they are not binding on other provinces. There is also the Supreme Court of Canada that authority to bind all courts in the country with a single ruling. If a there is a little or no existing Canadian decision on a legal issue it is possible that the court will look to a non-Canadian legal authority for reference. Most often the decisions on other commonwealth countries like the U.S. and England are utilized. While the decisions of English higher courts like the English Court of Appeal are respected and these courts are considered the be persuasive authority, many of the constitution or privacy related issues are solved basing on the decisions of United States courts, because the there is a much greater body of jurisprudence in U.S. law than English law in these areas. Canadian courts are also particularly bind with the decisions of the House of Lords made before 1867, but practice shows that most of these decisions were overturned by the Canadian Supreme Court or simply not considered serious by any of the Canadian lower courts.

The Federal Stark law prohibits physicians from referring Medicare/Medicaid beneficiaries to an entity in which they (or an immediate family member) have a financial relationship for designated health services (“DHS”), unless an exception applies. DHS include: clinical lab; physical therapy; occupational therapy; radiology (including, MRI, CAT scans, and ultrasounds); radiation therapy and supplies; DME and supplies; parenteral and enteral nutrients, equipment and supplies; prosthetics, orthotics, and prosthetic devices and supplies; home health services; outpatient prescription drugs; and inpatient and outpatient hospitalization services. In addition, physicians should also be mindful that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued a proposed rule to amend the Stark regulations effective January 1, 2006 to include diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine, including PET scans, to the list of DHS.

Physicians must keep in mind that they cannot ignore Stark, as nearly every financial relationship between physicians and entities that furnish designated health services (“DHS”) implicate the law. Violations of the Stark law have substantial consequences for all parties involved, regardless of the intent of the parties. Sanctions include denial of payment for DHS claims, civil monetary penalties ($15,000 for each claim submitted plus two times the reimbursement claimed), and exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid. In addition, parties who enter into circumvention schemes are subject to a civil monetary penalty of up to $100,000 per scheme.

Group practices are well advised to document their compliance with Stark. Documentation supporting compliance is particularly important in today’s health care environment, which has had an increase in Federal False Claims litigation and investigations stemming from Qui Tam whistleblowers utilizing technical violations of the Stark law as a predicate for False Claims Act violations.

Application of Stark in the Group Practice Setting

When you go through a divorce, not only do you have to make decisions about how to divide assets, who will maintain primary custody of the kids, and how child support will be arranged, but in some cases, you may have to provide alimony to your spouse. Alimony is also known as spousal support and is in place to provide income for the spouse that does not have the capability or capacity to earn as much money as the other spouse. Alimony is not the same as child support and there are no specific ways to calculate alimony in any state.

Often times, the amount of money a spouse may be entitled to is based on their ability to provide an income that would maintain the same standard of living they were accustomed to when they were married. While often times it is not possible for both spouses to maintain the standard of living they shared when they were married, alimony is in place to try to accomplish this.

Alimony is also determined based on the amount of time you and your spouse were married. If the marriage dissolved after a short period of time, alimony is often not even considered. Whereas, if the marriage lasted many years and one spouse was the primary financial provider, alimony will most often be awarded.

Alimony also has tax consequences. While child support is not tax-deductible by the giver or receiver, alimony is tax deductible to the payer and must be included as part of the taxable income of the payee. Also, alimony may be in place for a certain time, after which time, you are not required to provide your ex-spouse with financial support. Other times, alimony is indefinite or is terminated upon death.

The necessary steps in obtaining a divorce will depend on the particular situation of the parties getting the divorce. A divorce where the parties have been married for a relatively short period of time, have no children, and little property or debts should be less involved than a divorce where the parties have been married for a long period of time, where there are minor children, or where there is significant property or debt to divide. The divorce process should be simpler in cases where both parties want and agree to the divorce. If one party is blind-sided by receiving divorce papers they might respond by doing whatever they can to prolong the process. Finally, the more the parties can agree on between themselves the smoother and quicker their divorce. If the couple is bogged down in fighting and disagreements over anything and everything, the process will be slower.

Filing a petition. The first step in the divorce process is filing a petition. Even where both spouses agree that they want to get divorced, one of them will have to be the one to file a petition with the court asking for the divorce. The petition will state the grounds for the divorce. The grounds for divorce vary depending on the jurisdiction. All jurisdictions allow for some type of no-fault grounds such as “irreconcilable differences”, but only a few states still consider fault grounds for divorce, such as adultery or abandonment. Your lawyer can tell you whether fault grounds are available in your state, and if so, whether or not it makes sense to file for divorce on fault grounds.

Annulment has a similar purpose to a divorce in that it brings a marriage to an end, but differs from divorce in significant respects. Rather than dissolving a valid marriage as a divorce does, an annulment treats the marriage as if it never existed. The marriage is declared null and void. A marriage can be annulled only in very specific circumstances provided under the law, which include:

* At the time of marriage your spouse was already married to someone else

* Either person was under 16 years of age at the time of the marriage

* The marriage was between people in a prohibited relationship (i.e. a close relative)

There is a distinction between a marriage that is void and one that is voidable. A void marriage is one that is declared never to have existed because it was not valid under the law when it took place. Other marriages, voidable marriages, may have met the requirements of the law when they took place but may subsequently be annulled. For example, if one partner has been granted a full gender recognition certificate after the marriage then either partner can seek to annul the marriage.

If you think that you may have valid grounds to have your marriage annulled you should let Contact Law put you in touch with a family solicitor. There are only very limited specific grounds which will constitute grounds for annulment. Solicitors can explain the law to you and consider whether your circumstances may suffice, and whilst many people would prefer to get an annulment rather than a divorce, it is notoriously difficult to establish annulment. Divorce solicitors can represent you in court and argue your case on your behalf, increasing your chances of being granted an annulment. They can also advise you on the legal consequences of an annulment, such as on your jointly owned property and government benefits.
