The applicant brought a motion seeking numerous orders, including striking the respondent's pleadings for failure to comply with a prior disclosure order and for breaching an order regarding the sale of a boat.
The court declined to strike the pleadings, noting that both parties had failed to strictly comply with the prior order's deadlines and that striking pleadings is a remedy of last resort, particularly where parenting issues remain unresolved.
However, the court ordered the respondent to pay $5,000 in costs for his deliberate breach of the order regarding the boat sale proceeds, and set new deadlines for financial disclosure and the appraisal of the matrimonial home.
