The Court of Appeal dismissed the appellant's family law appeal, upholding supervised parenting time, support orders, and a $950,000 costs award due to his egregious misconduct.
This is an appeal in a protracted family law matter.
The appellant challenged the trial judge's orders regarding supervised parenting time, beneficial ownership of Universal Wealth Assets Ltd. (UWA), support payable, and a broad restraining order.
The appellant also sought leave to appeal the trial judge's costs award of $950,000.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal on all grounds, finding no error in the trial judge's findings regarding parenting time, support, or the restraining order.
While the declaration of UWA ownership was found to be made without jurisdiction as it was not sought as relief, this did not impact the case's outcome.
Leave to appeal costs was denied, as the high award was justified by the appellant's misconduct, fraudulent activity, and bad faith throughout the litigation.
