Applicant's motion to compel the respondent to file an affidavit dismissed; $1,500 costs awarded for abusive conduct.
The self-represented applicant filed a motion under Rule 58 alleging an irregularity because the respondent did not file an affidavit in response to his underlying application.
The Federal Court dismissed the motion, explaining that Rule 307 sets timelines but does not compel a respondent to file evidence.
The Court noted the applicant's repeated unreasonable demands, his refusal to participate in case management, and characterized his conduct as uninformed and abusive.
Costs of $1,500 were awarded against the applicant.
