Aitken & Murphy (No 2)

In *Aitken & Murphy (No 2)*, Young J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application for interim property orders. The dispute concerned the division of property between the parties.

The court was required to determine whether to grant interim property orders and to consider the question of legal costs associated with the hearing. Further issues arose regarding the obtaining of valuations for various assets, the production of documents pursuant to a subpoena, and related matters involving the applicant's former solicitors.

Young J dismissed the application for interim property orders. The court reserved the question of legal costs and adjourned the further hearing of the reserved costs issues, property valuations, and subpoena-related matters for a future date. The court certified that the matter reasonably required the attendance of counsel for both the applicant and the respondent.
