Arkin and Blasberg (No 2)

In the matter of *Arkin and Blasberg (No 2)*, the Honourable Justice Wilson of the Federal Court of Australia considered an application by a proposed intervener. The dispute concerned an application filed on 23 October 2019, and a related application filed on 24 October 2019, in which the proposed intervener sought to participate. The respondent husband was represented by Queen's Counsel and Senior Counsel.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether to grant the proposed intervener leave to file an amended application in the proceedings. This involved assessing the merits of the proposed intervention and its potential impact on the existing litigation.

Justice Wilson granted leave for the proposed intervener to file an amended application in the case dated 23 October 2019. However, the Court dismissed the proposed intervener’s amended application in the case filed on 24 October 2019. Consequently, the proposed intervener was ordered to pay the costs associated with the appearance of the respondent husband's legal representatives on 24 October 2019.
