Nott v Nott, 2020 BCSC 19622020
Counsel of Record: Matthew Katsionis
Case Summary: Matthew Katsionis successfully defended the respondent husband who had separated from his wife in 2011 and had a consent order in place since 2013. The claimant wife tried to overturn this order, claiming that her husband had lied about his income.

The wife's application to set aside the existing consent order was dismissed, maintaining the original terms.
