The parties in a family law proceeding engaged in a 'war' of Form 14B motions, repeatedly breaching the rule that such motions are reserved for procedural, uncomplicated, or unopposed matters.
After declining to hear the applicant's opposed 14B motion the previous day, the court received another opposed 14B motion from the respondent seeking substantive relief.
The court declined to hear the respondent's motion and, citing the need to save time and expense, ordered pursuant to subrule 14(21) of the Family Law Rules that neither party may bring further 14B motions unless they strictly comply with subrule 14(10).
