CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Adami and Adami (No. 2)*, Berman J of the Federal Court of Australia considered an application to strike out a subpoena issued to DD Pty Ltd. The nature of the underlying dispute between the parties, Adami and Adami, is not detailed in the provided text, but the application concerned the validity and scope of the subpoena.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the subpoena issued to DD Pty Ltd was oppressive or otherwise an abuse of process, warranting its being struck out. This required the Court to assess the relevance and necessity of the documents sought by the subpoena in light of the proceedings.

Berman J determined that the subpoena should be struck out. While the specific reasoning is not elaborated in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the Court found grounds to set aside the subpoena, likely due to it being considered an improper use of the court's process.

The Court ordered that the subpoena to DD Pty Ltd issued on 12 March 2019 be struck out.
