Representative Reported Decisions

E.B. v M.F.P, 2024 BCSC 2194

In this Hague Convention (international child abduction) matter, the petitioner father, a Turkish citizen, sought the return of his 20-month-old child from Canada to Turkey, alleging wrongful removal/retention by the Canadian mother. We represented the mother and successfully defended the application, resulting in the dismissal of the father’s petition. The child was allowed to remain with our client in BC.

I.A.M.M. v H.F.S.S, 2025 BCSC 1330

In this family law case, after a six-day trial, the Court granted our client, the mother, essentially all the orders she asked for, including $30,000 in retroactive spousal support, as well as provisional costs given her substantial success at trial.

I.A.M.M. v H.F.S.S, 2025 BCSC 2134

The opposing party challenged the award of provisional costs in our client’s favour and sought an order that each party bear their own costs, or, in the alternative, that the costs awarded to our client be reduced on the basis of alleged financial hardship. The Court accepted our submissions and rejected the opposing party’s position. In the end, the other party was required to pay costs to our client.

Al-Ani v Al-Obaidi, 2026 BCSC 77

After a highly contentious family law proceeding—comprising an 18‑day trial in the Provincial Court addressing parenting issues and a separate five‑day trial concerning child support—the opposing party filed five appeals of Provincial Court orders to the Supreme Court. We successfully disposed of three of those appeals on jurisdictional grounds, as the orders were interim in nature and therefore not appealable. We further obtained a stay of one appeal on the basis that the appellant had not complied with the order under appeal and that permitting the appeal to proceed in the circumstances would be contrary to the interests of justice.
