In a divorce application involving complex corporate structures, the applicant husband brought an interim motion seeking to compel the respondent wife to transfer her shares in several closely held corporations to him, or alternatively, to wind up the companies.
He also sought a restraining order.
The wife sought a sealing order for a video exhibit, and the husband sought to consolidate the wife's wrongful dismissal action with the family proceeding.
The court dismissed the husband's requests for share transfers and winding up, finding no jurisdiction under the Family Law Act prior to equalization and no oppression under the Business Corporations Act.
The restraining order was also dismissed.
The court granted the wife's request for a sealing order and the husband's request to transfer and hear the wrongful dismissal action together with the family proceeding.
