Keach and Keach and Anor (No 5)

In the matter of *Keach and Keach and Anor (No 5)*, Strickland J of the Supreme Court of South Australia considered an application by the wife to tender a document, previously marked for identification as MFI1, as an exhibit. The proceedings concerned family law matters between the wife and the husband, with a second respondent also involved.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the document marked MFI1 should be admitted as evidence. The Court also had to determine the timetable for the filing and service of written outlines of final submissions by the parties, and set a date for the further consideration of the matter.

Strickland J permitted the wife to tender the document, which was then marked as Exhibit W31. The Court then directed the wife to file and serve her written outline of final submissions by 4:00 pm on 2 November 2009. The husband and the second respondent were each ordered to file and serve their respective written outlines of final submissions by 4:00 pm on 23 November 2009. The further consideration of the proceedings was adjourned to 9:00 am (ACDT) on 24 November 2009.
