The applicant moved for an order compelling the respondent to provide financial disclosure.
The respondent brought a cross-motion seeking a declaration that the parties' last common habitual residence was the United Arab Emirates, arguing that UAE law does not provide for equalization of net family properties and therefore the requested disclosure was irrelevant.
The court declined to determine the issue of common habitual residence on an interlocutory motion due to conflicting affidavit evidence, finding that a trial was necessary.
Both parties were ordered to provide specific items of financial disclosure.
