Hermann and Hermann (No 2)

In *Hermann and Hermann (No 2)*, the husband sought liberty to use certain documents and information, detailed in Annexure "A" to the orders, for the purposes of proceedings he had instituted in the Supreme Court of Victoria. The dispute concerned the husband's application to utilise these documents in separate litigation.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the husband should be granted permission to use the specified documents and information in his Supreme Court proceedings. This involved considering the nature of the documents, their relevance to the external litigation, and any potential prejudice to the wife.

Macmillan J ordered that the husband be at liberty to use the documents and information listed in Annexure "A" for the purpose of his proceedings in the Supreme Court of Victoria. The court reserved all questions of costs, directing both parties to file written submissions regarding any applications for costs by specific dates. The husband's application filed on 3 June 2014 and the wife's response filed on 1 July 2014 were otherwise dismissed, except in relation to any applications for costs. The court also certified that the matter reasonably required the attendance of counsel, including senior counsel.
