The applicant and respondent brought cross-motions in a family law proceeding.
The respondent sought a stay of support enforcement, a refraining order against the suspension of his driver's licence, and exclusive possession of the matrimonial home.
The applicant sought to strike the respondent's pleadings and a finding of contempt for his ongoing failure to comply with financial disclosure orders.
The court dismissed the respondent's motions for a stay and exclusive possession, finding he lacked clean hands and failed to establish a prima facie case for variation.
A refraining order was granted on the condition that the respondent pay current support and $1,000 monthly towards arrears.
The court declined to strike the respondent's pleadings to allow him to participate at trial, but found him in civil contempt for wilful non-disclosure, granting him a final opportunity to purge the contempt before sentencing.
