A team and advisory panel have assisted JP Boyd in migrating and updating the [www.bcfamilylawresource.com BC Family Law Resource]. This is a test of the Lingo extension (see [[Terminology]]):
 
<blockquote>Acting out of caution and concern for the well being of honest citizens, the government introduced an Act to protect against fraud by dishonest would-be immigrants. An Action could be brought to strike out the laws, but a test case is needed. On a related point, Proof that a Marriage was entered into fraudulently may be grounds for Divorce and a Declaration by the courts that the marriage be deemed Null and Void, Ab Initio. <br />
An Infant may not commence an Action, except with the aid of a guardian ad litem, who may or may not be a Guardian. Pundits warn that Hearsay may soon be expanded to include any testimony by witnesses who use social media.
