CaseChat Overview and Summary

The Honourable Justice Wilson considered an application by the husband for a stay of orders previously made on 31 January and 24 February 2020, in proceedings involving the wife and an intervenor. The intervenor sought costs associated with the stay application, and also applied for the disqualification of Kenna Teasdale from acting for the husband.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the husband had established sufficient grounds to warrant a stay of the earlier orders. A secondary issue concerned the intervenor's application for costs, and a further issue related to the intervenor's application to disqualify the husband's legal representative.

Justice Wilson dismissed the husband's application for a stay of the previous orders. The court ordered that the husband pay the intervenor's costs of and incidental to the stay application. The intervenor's application for the disqualification of Kenna Teasdale was adjourned to a date to be fixed.
