Barran & Sobolev (No 2)

In the matter of *Barran & Sobolev (No 2)*, heard before Myers J, the applicant, Mr Barran, and the respondent, Ms Sobolev, were engaged in proceedings before the Court. The specific dispute leading to this order concerned an application by Mr Barran for a stay of the hearing, and the admissibility of an email as evidence.

The primary legal issues before the Court were whether to grant the application for a stay of the hearing, and whether to admit into evidence an email dated 19 April 2021 from the respondent's solicitor to the applicant. The Court was also required to confirm the date for the resumption of the part-heard hearing and to consider an application for costs.

Myers J made several orders. The Court received the email from the respondent's solicitor into evidence, designating it as Exhibit ‘A’. The application for a stay of the hearing was dismissed. The Court confirmed that the part-heard hearing would resume on 8 June 2021, allocating two days for its continuation. Finally, the Court reserved the respondent's application for costs until the resumption of the hearing on 8 June 2021.
