The appellant husband moved to lift a stay of his appeal from a contempt order in a matrimonial proceeding.
The stay order required him to fulfill three conditions, including providing an up-to-date financial statement and information about his living arrangements in the Bahamas.
The Court of Appeal found that his compliance was piecemeal, vague, selective, and incomplete, and that much of what he asserted lacked credibility.
The motion to lift the stay was dismissed with costs awarded to the respondent.
