The applicant wife moved to strike the respondent husband's Answer for his failure to comply with four provisions of two prior consent orders regarding life insurance beneficiaries, golf club disclosure, monies received from the club, and loan details.
The court found the husband had clearly failed to comply with the orders.
However, applying the test for striking pleadings, the court declined to strike the Answer, opting instead to order strict deadlines for compliance and $10,000 in costs payable before the upcoming settlement conference.
