The judge found a consistent pattern of deliberate non-compliance by Xia with mandatory disclosure and court orders, concluded the applications for leave to appeal lacked reasonable prospects, determined the Defence was filed as an abuse to circumvent an unless sanction and struck it out, and held that an unless/debarring sanction is proportionate and justified; accordingly leave to appeal was refused, the Defence struck out, and a short extension to comply with the Asset Disclosure Order was granted with a clear debarment sanction if not complied with by the new deadline.
