The appellant appealed an interlocutory order dismissing his motion to strike the respondent's family law application for spousal support and equitable relief.
The appellant argued the claims were barred by a 2005 Nevada divorce and an ongoing civil action.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal regarding the motion to strike, finding triable issues regarding the validity of the foreign divorce and noting the family law equitable claims were distinct from the civil action.
However, the court granted the appeal to dispense with the appellant's attendance at the Mandatory Information Program due to his age and residency in Hong Kong.
