Holinski and Holinski

In the matter of *Holinski and Holinski*, heard by Hannam J, the proceedings concerned an application by the father to re-open the proceedings for the purpose of adducing further evidence. The mother was required to file and serve her affidavit by a specified date, and the Independent Children’s Lawyer was granted leave to issue a subpoena on the preschool.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant the father leave to re-open the proceedings to adduce further evidence. The court also considered the father's request for leave to submit written submissions by way of reply.

Hannam J granted leave for the proceedings to be re-opened for the father to adduce further evidence, dismissing his application for leave to submit written submissions in reply. The court adjourned the matter for further hearing, estimating that the cross-examination would be contained within two hours and that further submissions would be limited to the issue of further evidence.
