Kallias and Kallias

In *Kallias and Kallias*, heard before Cronin J, the proceedings concerned a dispute between a husband and wife, with an additional party, Mr F, raising an objection. The precise nature of the dispute between the husband and wife is not detailed, but the orders indicate it involves financial matters and the potential claims of Mr F as a creditor.

The court was required to determine the validity of Mr F's objection and to make orders regarding the costs of the proceedings. Further, the court needed to manage the progression of the final applications for orders between the husband and wife, including setting a timetable for amended applications and fixing a trial date. The court also addressed the handling of documents produced by Mr F.

Cronin J struck out Mr F's objection, indicating it lacked merit or was procedurally flawed. The court ordered that the wife's costs be fixed at $12,000, with payment deferred pending any application by Mr F to join the proceedings as a creditor. If no such application was made by a specified date, the costs were to become immediately payable. The outstanding applications for final orders were referred to Justice Thornton for a directions hearing to fix the matter for trial in August 2018. The court also made orders concerning the inspection and destruction of documents produced by Mr F and directed the parties to file amended applications with precise orders sought.
