No thanks just a response please

Thanks for your patience and enquiry. This kind of practice is not unheard of. Practically you may write to the other side stating that you are aware of the breach of the court's order. You may state that if the information is not disclosed pursuant to the court's orders you will ask for sanctions against them.

Types of sanctions usually asked for in these circumstances is for cost to be imposed against them. You could therefore ask the judge to order cost against them.

Can I inform court prior to this and also will his lateness in following the order go in my favor?
