Alderson and Alderson

The proceedings involved the father and mother, with Justice Rose presiding. The dispute concerned matters arising from orders made on 1 June 2007, with the father indicating a desire to withdraw from the proceedings.

The court was required to determine applications for leave to file and serve further evidence by the father, limited to specific aspects of the previous orders. Additionally, the court considered applications for leave to issue subpoenas for documents by the independent children's lawyer and the mother's solicitors, directed to educational institutions, the police, a medical practitioner, and an employer. The court also had to address the costs of the day.

Justice Rose granted the father leave to file and serve affidavits or witness statements by a specified date, restricted to particular issues. The court stipulated that if the father failed to comply, the matter would proceed on the existing evidence, subject to any subsequent application for leave. Leave was also granted for the independent children's lawyer and the mother's solicitors to issue subpoenas for various documents. The father was ordered to pay the costs of the day for the independent children's lawyer and the mother. The hearing was adjourned to resume part-heard.
