Counsel of Record: Cori Molloy

Case Summary: Cori Molloy was successful on both applications in this notable case involving two interim claims. One in which the respondent sought shared possession of the family dog, and another seeking spousal support. The court dismissed the claim for interim spousal support and declined to order shared possession of the dog, finding that current family law legislation does not permit it. This decision reflects a growing recognition in British Columbia that companion animals are more than ordinary property, and that their well-being is a relevant consideration in family law disputes.

Counsel of Record: Millad Ossudallah

Case Summary: Acting for the respondent, Millad Ossudallah successfully opposed the claimant’s interim relief in this complex family law dispute involving corporate interests.

The claimant sought interim relief on transfer of corporate shares, proceeds of grant money obtained on behalf of the company, and reimbursement of allegedly misappropriated funds.

Millad argued these issues required a full trial and complete evidentiary record. With a joint expert conducting a forensic audit and valuation, the court agreed and declined interim orders, preserving the trial-appropriate matters for proper adjudication and protecting his client from a premature decision.
