The applicant wife brought a motion to strike the respondent husband's Answer in a family law proceeding.
The custody and access issues had already been resolved, leaving only financial issues.
The husband had repeatedly failed to provide required financial disclosure, breaching multiple consent orders and the Family Law Rules over a period of more than two years.
The court found the husband's breaches to be deliberate, flagrant, and prejudicial to the wife.
Concluding that this was an exceptional case where the husband's conduct prevented the case from being dealt with justly, the court granted the motion and struck the husband's Answer.
