In a family law proceeding, the respondent brought a motion to strike the applicant's pleadings for failure to pay a costs order and sought a declaration that his disclosure was complete.
The applicant sought an adjournment of an upcoming long motion regarding spousal support.
The court dismissed the motion to strike because the costs were paid prior to the hearing, and dismissed the request for a declaration as the outstanding disclosure was irrelevant to the upcoming support motion.
However, the court denied the applicant's request for an adjournment, finding it to be a delay tactic, and ordered the long motion to proceed peremptorily.
