“Enough is enough” litigation will be shut down – Kamil v. Alnoor, 2026 ONCA 53

Kamil v. Alnoor is a clear warning from the Court of Appeal: family litigation cannot be driven by non-compliance and harassing conduct.

The core problem: non-compliance

The appeal followed an uncontested family trial where the appellant’s pleadings were struck after repeated breaches of court orders, including:

• failure to provide financial disclosure, and
• failure to comply with child support obligations.

The aggravating factor: harassment

The Court of Appeal noted a troubling pattern of harassment and threats toward the respondent and her counsel, and treated this conduct as part of an abuse of the litigation process.

Appeal is not a second chance

The court made it clear that an appeal is not a second chance to fix a case created by ignoring court orders. Attempts to rely on fresh evidence did not cure the underlying non-compliance or misconduct.

The result

The appeal was treated as frivolous and vexatious, and the court refused to allow the appeal process to be used as a tool for delay or pressure.

Takeaway

“Enough is enough” litigation will be shut down — Kamil v. Alnoor, 2026 ONCA 53.

In short: comply with disclosure and support orders, and do not use litigation to harass the other side — or risk losing your right to meaningfully litigate at all.
