9 In Leung v. Leung (1993), 77 B.C.L.R. (2d) 314, Esson C.J.S.C. concluded making an application ex parte that should have been made with notice fell within the meaning of the word "reprehensible" and warranted an order for special costs. He also noted that material non-disclosure on such an application would also be a ground for such an order. Both elements are present in this case.
