The respondent on appeal brought a motion for security for costs under Rule 61.06(1) of the Rules of Civil Procedure.
The underlying family law trial resulted in orders for an equalization payment, child support, and costs against the appellant, who was found to be recalcitrant and had income imputed to him.
The Court of Appeal found good reason to believe the appeal had no merit and that the appellant had insufficient assets in Ontario to pay the costs of the appeal.
The motion was granted, and the appellant was ordered to post $8,500 in security for costs.
