The applicant brought a motion to change child and spousal support, which was ultimately settled by consent after three years of litigation.
The respondent sought full indemnity costs, arguing the applicant acted in bad faith by ignoring previous court orders, lying about his employment termination, and filing a baseless Law Society complaint against her counsel.
The court found the applicant acted in bad faith and ordered him to pay $70,000 in costs, with 80% enforceable by the Family Responsibility Office.
