The applicant, Karen Beaudette, sought to set aside an order noting her in default and a subsequent final order from an uncontested trial.
The respondent, Michael James, sought to dismiss the applicant's motion and to prohibit her from bringing further motions without leave until outstanding costs were paid.
The court dismissed the applicant's motion, finding she did not act promptly, failed to provide an adequate explanation for non-compliance with the Family Law Rules, and did not establish an arguable case on the merits.
The court granted the respondent's request to prohibit the applicant from bringing further motions without leave until all outstanding costs orders are paid.
