The applicant brought a motion seeking an order for the respondent to post $10,000 to $15,000 as security for costs.
This motion was in response to the respondent's pending motion to suspend, vary, and terminate provisions from a prior trial decision, including spousal and child support obligations and equalization payments.
The applicant highlighted the respondent's failure to pay numerous court-ordered debts and ongoing support, arguing the variation motion constituted a collateral attack on unappealed determinations.
The court, balancing the respondent's stated unemployment with significant reported assets, ordered the respondent to pay $10,000 into court as security for costs.
The respondent's motion to vary was stayed until this payment was made, and the applicant was awarded $800 in costs for this motion.
