Giunta & Giunta (No 2)

In the matter of *Giunta & Giunta (No 2)*, the court considered the admissibility of evidence in a family law proceeding. The mother objected to a paragraph within the father's affidavit, alleging it was improperly obtained. The father sought to rely on this paragraph, which was derived from an audio recording.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the disputed paragraph, and by extension the audio recording from which it was extracted, should be admitted into evidence, notwithstanding the mother's objection regarding its improper procurement. The court also considered the potential admissibility of the entire transcript of the audio recording.

His Honour McClelland DCJ indicated that he would consider admitting the entire transcript of the audio recording into evidence, subject to the parties conferring and agreeing on its accuracy. The paragraph from the father's affidavit was not read into evidence at that stage, pending the resolution of the transcript issue.
