Haseeb & Haseeb

In the Family Court of Australia, Ms Haseeb applied for orders under section 117 of the Family Law Act 1975 for the disclosure of documents from Mr Haseeb (the husband) and Mr B Haseeb (the second respondent). The second respondent had allegedly loaned the husband money to purchase three properties, and the second respondent claimed an equitable interest in those properties. The wife was not aware of these loans and claimed that the husband had access to large sums of cash from his business. The wife sought disclosure of documents from the second respondent, including tax returns and Centrelink applications. The second respondent did not have the documents in his possession but had provided them to the Social Security Agency and the Australian Taxation Office. The court was required to decide whether to order the second respondent to obtain the documents from those agencies and provide them to the wife. The court found that the second respondent did not have the documents and had provided them to the agencies. The court ordered the second respondent to seek the documents from those agencies and provide them to the wife. The wife was to bear the costs of obtaining the documents. The court reserved the costs of the application to the trial judge.

The court found that the second respondent had provided the documents to the agencies and did not have them in his possession. The court ordered the second respondent to seek the documents from the agencies and provide them to the wife. The court found that the wife was entitled to the documents to assess the second respondent’s claims and the husband’s financial situation. The court ordered the second respondent to complete the necessary forms to obtain the documents and provide them to the wife within 14 days. The court reserved the costs of the application to the trial judge. The court ordered the wife to bear the costs of obtaining the documents from the agencies.
