PRESENT:      THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE WETSTON

BETWEEN:

     REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

WETSTON, J.

[1]      I have considered the evidence in this trial de novo and have concluded that Mr. Wang's business absences from Canada do not detract from the fact that he has indeed centralized his mode of living in Canada. There are sufficient indicia to indicate that his residence in Canada has been maintained and not merely intended to be resumed.
