Pach v. Canada, 2003 DTC 5634, 2003 FCA 363 -- summary under Support Amount

An agreement to pay the mortgage payments for a house plus monthly expenses including realty taxes, hydro, gas, telephone, insurance, cable, auto expenses and domestic help represented an obligation for amounts that were "limited and predetermined". Malone J.A. stated (at p. 5636) that "amounts payable can be said to be both predetermined and limited if the agreement defines the enumerated expenses in respect of which they are paid to the recipient in a way that renders the amount certain".
