The appellant appealed orders finding him in contempt of court for failing to make financial disclosure in a family law proceeding, awarding full indemnity costs against him, and dismissing his cross-motion for contempt against the respondent.
The Court of Appeal upheld the contempt finding, noting the appellant deliberately and wilfully disobeyed a clear court order to produce corporate financial information.
The court refused leave to appeal the costs award, finding no error in principle.
The court also dismissed the appeal regarding the cross-motion for contempt, finding the respondent's failure to produce certain bank documents was a mistake rather than intentional disobedience.
