Fermikis and Fermikis (No 2)

In the matter of *Fermikis and Fermikis (No 2)*, Gill J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered an application concerning the admissibility of evidence. The dispute involved the parties, Mr and Ms Fermikis, and the court was tasked with determining whether certain affidavits should be formally admitted into the proceedings.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the Affidavit of Ms Fermikis sworn on 25 May 2020, and the Response to an Application in a Case and Affidavit of Mr Fermikis sworn on 28 May 2020, were to be read into the proceedings. This involved a consideration of the procedural rules governing the admission of evidence in family law matters.

Gill J ordered that both the Affidavit of Ms Fermikis and the Response to an Application in a Case and Affidavit of Mr Fermikis be read into the proceedings. This decision indicates the court's acceptance of these documents as evidence for the purpose of the case, subject to the formal entry of the orders in the Court's records.
