Forster and Forster (No 3)

In *Forster and Forster (No 3)*, Benjamin J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the husband for leave to obtain and provide certain documents to the Legal Profession Conduct Commission of South Australia. The dispute concerned the husband's desire to make written complaints against legal practitioners involved in the proceedings.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant the husband leave to access specific transcripts of Family Court proceedings and directions hearings. The court was also required to determine the husband's application filed on 21 July 2015.

Benjamin J granted the husband leave to obtain, at his own expense, copies of the transcript of proceedings from 15 September 2014 to 26 September 2014, and transcripts of directions hearings on 24 June 2014 and 12 August 2014, for the purpose of making written complaints to the Legal Profession Conduct Commission. Leave was also granted for the husband to listen to the transcript of the directions hearing on 24 June 2014. The husband's application filed on 21 July 2015 was dismissed.
