A costs decision following a motion regarding parental travel with a child.
The respondent mother sought permission to travel to England with the subject child during the holiday period.
The applicant father brought a counter-motion opposing the travel, citing concerns about the child's return.
The court granted the travel with restrictive conditions, including a cash security deposit.
The applicant sought costs of $2,000 on a partial recovery basis, citing the respondent's failure to disclose material facts including her marriage to a British citizen and her work visa.
The court awarded costs as requested, finding the respondent's selective disclosure of information unreasonable and contrary to the principle of coming to court with clean hands.
