The applicant brought a motion in a family law proceeding seeking extensive financial disclosure, questioning of the respondent and two non-parties, $35,000 in interim disbursements, and a preservation order.
The court ordered the respondent to produce uncontested disclosure and attend for questioning.
However, the court dismissed the request for the respondent's expert file, finding it protected by litigation privilege.
The request to question non-parties was dismissed as premature.
The claim for interim disbursements was denied because the applicant failed to establish the necessity and reasonableness of the funds.
Finally, the court declined to grant a preservation order, finding no evidence of a real risk of asset dissipation.
