Shewchuk v. Ricard (1986)

Download factum:

LEAF argued that provisions in the Child Paternity and Support Act were that only allowed mothers to seek affiliation with their children born out of wedlock and subsequently can only initiate payment orders against the child's father. Fathers are not entitled to the same provisions, making the Act in violation of Section 15 of the Charter.
