The applicant brought a motion to strike the respondent's pleadings and seek costs on a full recovery basis due to the respondent's willful and repeated failure to obey numerous court orders.
The respondent had failed to pay child support, costs awards, and security for costs, and had repeatedly breached access orders.
The court found this to be an exceptional case warranting the striking of pleadings, with the exception of the respondent's claim for access, which was permitted to proceed with strict controls.
The order was made without prejudice to the respondent seeking reinstatement upon full compliance with outstanding court orders.
