Doumas and Milford

In the matter of *Doumas and Milford*, heard before Cronin J, the dispute concerned the husband's compliance with existing orders made on 3 March 2017, specifically paragraph 7.2, and the wife's application filed on 30 May 2017. The husband had asserted that he had responded to a request for documents from the wife's solicitors, either by providing them or stating they did not exist.

The court was required to determine whether the husband had complied with his obligations under paragraph 7.2 of the previous orders and to consider the wife's application filed on 30 May 2017. A further issue arose regarding the husband's instructions to his solicitors concerning matters within their control under the same order.

Cronin J ordered the husband to comply with his obligations under paragraph 7.2 of the 3 March 2017 orders by 4.00 pm on 22 August 2017. The husband was also directed to instruct his solicitors to ensure compliance with matters within their control within 14 days. The wife's application filed on 30 May 2017, and the husband's response thereto filed on 21 July 2017, were dismissed by consent, with the court noting the husband's assertion of having responded to the document request. The husband was ordered to pay the wife's costs fixed at $4893.04.
