The applicant husband initiated parallel divorce proceedings in Tennessee, prompting the respondent wife to seek an anti-suit injunction and enforcement of prior Ontario arbitration awards.
The court found the Ontario arbitration awards valid and enforceable, rejecting the applicant's arguments to set them aside based on statutory provisions or alleged lack of consent.
The court also granted the anti-suit injunction, determining Ontario remained the appropriate forum with the closest connection to the divorce application and parties, and that no injustice would result from preventing the Tennessee action.
