The applicant sought judicial review of a Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario decision.

The Divisional Court issued a notice under Rule 2.1.01 of the Rules of Civil Procedure indicating its intention to dismiss the proceeding as frivolous, vexatious, or an abuse of process.

The applicant responded with unreasonable attacks against court staff and sought $40 million in damages.

The court found the application had no merit, as the applicant failed to provide any evidence or jurisprudence to support his claims of discrimination and bias.

The application for judicial review was dismissed as frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of process.

The appellant appealed a motion judge's decision staying his motion to change a final family law order due to his egregious and exceptional non-compliance with prior court orders.

The Divisional Court upheld the motion judge's exercise of discretion under Rule 1(8) of the Family Law Rules, finding the appellant had willfully ignored numerous obligations, including support, tuition, life insurance, and costs.

However, the Court allowed the appeal in part to specify the exact conditions the appellant must satisfy to lift the stay and proceed with his motion to change.

The Court also confirmed that a prior $10,000 costs award was a debt under a support order not released by the appellant's bankruptcy.
