What is the impact of multiple applications being brought in the interim period?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Goddard v. Stewart, 2013 BCSC 2289 (CanLII):

While there is always access to the courts in the interim period, orders granted before trial are seldom if ever intended to address important issues impacting the children (such as schooling) over the long term. Rather, interim relief has been traditionally viewed as providing rough justice until trial. Generally speaking, the court has not looked favourably on multiple applications being brought in the interim period: Sork v. Sork, 2009 BCSC 998 at para. 34.
