This endorsement from a case management conference addressed several procedural disputes in a family law matter.
The court clarified the scope of upcoming long motions, disallowing new heads of relief sought by the respondent that were not previously discussed or scheduled.
It permitted the applicant to include material related to costs of prior proceedings, distinguishing these from settlement offers for the current motion.
The court also ordered the respondent's former counsel, Andrew Chris, to attend the long motion, leaving the decision to call him as a witness to the motion judge.
Additionally, the court admonished the respondent's counsel for improper communication with the court and set strict guidelines for future interactions.
