Dobson and Dobson

In the matter of *Dobson and Dobson*, Cronin J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by C Pty Ltd for costs against the husband arising from an objection to a subpoena. The court also addressed the objection itself.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether C Pty Ltd should be awarded costs against the husband in relation to its objection to a subpoena. A secondary issue, to the extent necessary, was the validity of C Pty Ltd's objection to the subpoena.

Cronin J dismissed the application by C Pty Ltd for costs against the husband. The court also dismissed C Pty Ltd's objection to the subpoena, to the extent that such dismissal was necessary. The final form of the orders was subject to the formal entry of the orders in the Court's records.
