Kitson and Michael

In *Kitson and Michael*, heard before Judge Brown, the dispute concerned an application to restrain a solicitor and their firm from acting on behalf of the husband in family law proceedings. The wife sought this injunction, and the court also made orders regarding costs, a conciliation conference, informal discovery, and the further consideration of the matter.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether there were grounds to disqualify the husband's solicitor from continuing to represent him. This involved an assessment of potential conflicts of interest or breaches of professional conduct that would warrant such a significant intervention by the court.

Judge Brown ordered that Wayne Gregory Keen, a solicitor of Keen Lawyers, and any other member of that firm be restrained from acting for the husband. The court also ordered the husband to pay the wife's costs fixed at $2,000.00. Further directions were given for the parties to attend a conciliation conference, exchange informal discovery, and the matter was adjourned for further consideration before Judge Dunkley. The interim proceedings were otherwise dismissed.
