Some parties engage in ‘tit for tat litigation’, that is, if one party gets a favourable order, the other party will strive to obtain an order that is favourable to them. In the recent Alashkar v Khattab, 2015 ONSC 7420 (CanLII), the facts were that a father obtained an order noting the mother in contempt of court order and the mother brought a motion to note the father in contempt of court order. While the court made it clear that they noted the father in contempt of the court order due to his actions, the mother may have felt a sense of relief in obtaining her ‘revenge’ against the father. Should ‘tit for tat litigation’ be condemned and how?
