Can a party who is in breach of a court order seek an audience to seek relief?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Sutherland-Yoest v. Sutherland-Yoest, 2012 ONSC 663 (CanLII):
As indicated in the excerpt from Gordon v. Starr, a party who is in breach of a court order should not be granted an audience to seek relief. While the bringing of the notice of motion raises questions about the husband’s appreciation of the extent to which he was in non-compliance, his counsel prudently has agreed to adjourn the motion sine die.
