The applicant mother brought a motion to strike the respondent father's financial pleadings for failing to comply with an interim order requiring him to pay child support, spousal support, and costs, and to provide financial disclosure.
The father admitted the breach but argued he had provided significant disclosure and was impecunious.
The court rejected the impecuniosity defence, noting the father owned a Ferrari and had an admitted income of $337,000.
However, given the complexity of the financial issues and the principle that striking pleadings is a remedy of last resort, the court granted the father one final opportunity to comply with the interim order before his pleadings would be struck.
