Bing and Bing

The parties to this proceeding were the husband and wife. The wife had filed an application on 31 October 2008, which the husband sought to have struck out. The matter came before Cronin J.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the wife's application was competent.

Cronin J found the wife's application to be incompetent and ordered that it be struck out. The court also made orders regarding costs, fixing the sum of $2000 payable by Issac Brott & Co to the husband for costs thrown away. Leave was granted to the firm of Rockman & Rockman to intervene in the proceedings, with directions for them to file and serve any application within 14 days. The judge also ordered that reasons for the judgment be transcribed and placed on the court file.
