Archer and Archer (No 2)

In *Archer and Archer (No 2)*, the Honourable Justice Cronin of the Supreme Court of Victoria considered an application for costs and the discharge of a subpoena. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties, Archer and Archer, is not detailed in the provided text, but the application before the court concerned the costs associated with a subpoena and its ultimate discharge.

The central legal issue before the court was the appropriate quantum of costs to be awarded in relation to the subpoena, and whether the subpoena should be discharged. The court was required to determine the scale rate and the number of hours for which costs would be allowed.

Justice Cronin determined that an order for four hours of costs at the scale rate of $771.60 was appropriate. The court further ordered that the subpoena be otherwise discharged.
