Such public marital embar- fassment does not occur often, but when the govern- ment was considering amend- ments to the Family Relations Act in 1977, didn't touch Section 76, which left, of states “a spouse may claim damages from a person who has committed adultery with . his spouse.” A successful suit depends on proving a spouse was enticed away from the mar- riage, or that the seducer interferred with attempts at marital reconciliation. One such case that reached the B.C. Court of Appeal recently involved a Vernon couple, who broke up ater seven years of marriage and ICBC asks for “payment by mail VANCOUVER (CP) — The Insurance Corp. of B.C. is asking motorists to pay their insurance premiums by mail, and not as outlined in their original contracts for financ- _ ing car insurance. * However, a spokesman for the union on strike against the corporation said ICBC has no legal right to demand: payment by mail. Bev Penhall, corporation spokesman, said th epublic’s cooperation is being sought. “They (drivers who ‘pay policies by instalment) signed an agreement that said they would have that money avail- able for us,” Penhall said. “We're just asking for them to mail their cheques to meet their commitment.” Twelve per cent of corpor- ation customers have their insurance financed on the in- stalment plan, by which pay- ments are automatically withdrawn from their bank Pacific Western accounts at regular intervals.” A strike by the Office and Technical Employees Union is preventing the company from collecting that money. “Phey cannot cancel a per- son’s insurance or refuse to renew,” said union president Fred Trotter. "They have a legal contract and as long as that money is in the person's account they can’t do any- ig. “If they can't get at the money that's their problem. What they're trying to do is get people to circumvent a legal strike.” People who do mail in their payments are just prolonging the strike.” People who do mail in their payments are just prolonging the strike, said Trotter. Penhall said the corpor- “ation plans to take no action against those who do not mail in their payments during the strike, Pacific Western Ai Flight Schedule for Castlegar spot for the second year running in the first aid competitions.

About a month after the husband moved out of the house, the adulterous couple | began the sexual liaison. The husband sued his wife for divorce and the other man for damages. AWARDS DAMAGES County court Judge F. K. Arkell granted the divorce in April, 1980, at the same time awarding the husband $5,000 and costs from the other man. The costs were esti- mated at $3,000. On appeal, Justice Ernest Bull, Meredith McFarlane and Peter Seaton ‘ ciemiaeed: the adulterer's Petition to overturn the aw: “Marriages are difficult enoueh to keep together lawyer, D. G.. Danyliu of ‘Vernon, and there is no need for a single person”to hunt down and seek out someone who is married, or on the verge of breaking up.” . Danyliu adds that a sexual affair “interferes with the apportunity to sit back by yourself and think about what the family unit means.” The opposing lawyer, W. Ross Ellison of Vancouver, believes Section 76 is worse than quaint, contending that “the most it could do is postpone the inevitable” in a marriage breakdown. During the last five years in Vancouver, Ellison says, eight such lawsuits have gont to court. Four were success- ful, with awards ranging from $1,500 to $5,000, while several other cases were settled out of court. i EFFECTIVE JUNE 1 TO SEPT. 14, 1981 Flight Number Frequency Ly, Vancouver Ar.

To add to. the confusion, a fourth worker rushed in half way through the timed event with simulated burns from a gasoline explosion. Each of the three-person teams had to diagnose the various injuries and decide which patient should be loaded onto a helicopter and taken to hospital first. Take a Ribbing!
