    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMP38/2007

    The court held that the applicant failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the respondent had the means to satisfy the 2020 maintenance judgment or had disposed of assets to avoid it, relying only on prior adverse inferences was insufficient; however the court was satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the respondent intentionally breached the 24 August 2021 order by refusing to provide his residential address and therefore was guilty of contempt in respect of that order.

    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMC6296/2008

    The application was dismissed because the claimant relied on incorrect procedures: s.12 MPPO did not apply to voluntary undertakings in the Consent Order, and Order 45 r.6 could not be used to convert undertakings into an order for payment or to prescribe the mode of payment; additionally the applicant failed to prove special or exceptional circumstances to justify leave after a 12‑year delay and failed to properly plead or prove the alleged outstanding sums.

    Citation
    CWG v. MH AND OTHERS
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP643/2012

    The court found the husband in contempt of the MPS Order and paragraph 1 of the Order; the contempt was wilful, contumacious and impeded the course of justice; applying Hadkinson principles the court ordered that the husband would not be heard on his stay application unless and until he complied with specified proportionate conditions to purge contempt (undertakings and payment of specified arrears and costs); the preliminary question as to R2's entitlement to be heard was adjourned for consideration of waiver of the disclosure order.
