Kirke and Xuan and Anor

This matter concerned an application before Wilson J, involving parties identified as the husband, the wife, and a second respondent, Ms Moye, represented by Ms Kirke. The dispute appears to centre on the disclosure of financial documents and the management of funds, with specific orders made regarding the production of bank statements and other financial records by the husband and the second respondent. The wife's application filed on 5 August 2019 was dismissed.

The court was required to determine the extent of financial disclosure necessary between the parties, including specific bank accounts and date ranges for statements. Further issues included the appointment of a case guardian for the second respondent and the management of funds held in trust by C Lawyers solicitors. The court also addressed the filing and serving of further affidavits by the parties and the payment of costs.

Wilson J ordered the husband to provide statements for several specified bank accounts within seven days. The second respondent was also ordered to provide an enduring power of attorney held by Ms Kirke on her behalf. The court further directed that parties should produce other reasonably requested financial documents within seven days of such a request, with provisions for confirming prior production. Ms Kirke was appointed as case guardian for the second respondent. All extant applications were adjourned, and specific timelines were set for the filing of further affidavits. The wife's application of 5 August 2019 was dismissed, and costs for that day were reserved.
