Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Holly v. Greco, 2018 ONSC 6219 (CanLII):
As Howden J. noted in Lee v. Chang, 2013 CarswellOnt 18085 at para. 36, A court order is not some invitation to dance which can simply be ignored or excused. … Compliance with court orders is not optional. Non-compliance with court orders, absent circumstances beyond the party’s control, must have consequences. The court’s response to failure or refusal to comply without proper excuse must be strong and decisive.
