Is there any case law where the respondent failed to provide a full and proper financial disclosure to the claimant?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Isacson v Isacson, 2015 BCSC 736 (CanLII):
This case is distinguishable from Vernon v. British Columbia (Liquor Distribution Branch), 2012 BCSC 445. Here, the respondent could easily have provided the financial disclosure that was repeatedly requested but chose instead to create as many delays and roadblocks as he possibly could. I am confident that had a full and proper financial disclosure been forthcoming, sufficiently in advance of trial to allow the claimant’s counsel a reasonable opportunity to assess it, the issue of the respondent’s income would have been resolved prior to trial.
