The applicant brought a motion to strike the respondent's pleadings and for security for costs due to his failure to comply with multiple temporary orders regarding spousal support, costs, and financial disclosure.
The court held that leave was not required to bring the motion despite the case being listed for trial, as the motion sought to enforce compliance essential to a fair trial.
The court ordered the respondent to comply with specific disclosure and payment obligations within 21 days, failing which his pleadings would be struck.
The court also granted the applicant a $50,000 security interest in the respondent's property for costs.
