CaseChat Overview and Summary

The application before Watts J in the Supreme Court of Western Australia concerned a subpoena issued to Dorrough Smart Solicitors and Attorneys. The specific nature of the dispute leading to the subpoena and the parties involved in the underlying litigation are not detailed in the provided text, beyond the reference to "Kendling and Kendling and Anor (No. 3)".

The central legal issue before the court was whether the subpoena issued to the solicitors should be set aside. This required the court to consider the validity and enforceability of the subpoena, and likely, the extent to which legal professional privilege or other protections might apply to the documents sought.

Watts J dismissed the application to set aside the subpoena. The court ordered that the documents be produced in accordance with the subpoena dated 8 April 2008.
