Krishna and Suk and Anor

In the matter of *Krishna and Suk and Anor*, heard by Rees J, the dispute concerned an application by Ms Krishna, the de facto spouse of Mr Fulham, to be joined as a party to existing proceedings between Ms Suk and Mr Fulham. Ms Krishna filed her application on 21 October 2019.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether Ms Krishna should be permitted to join the existing proceedings as a party. This involved considering the nature of her interest in the proceedings and the potential impact of her joinder on the existing litigation.

Rees J dismissed Ms Krishna's application to be joined as a party. However, the court made orders allowing Ms Krishna to file an Initiating Application outlining the orders she sought, both finally and, if applicable, on an interim basis, by 22 November 2019. This application was to be adjourned to await the final orders in suit no. SYC6579/2011. Upon the making of those final orders, Ms Krishna would be at liberty to make further applications to the court regarding the proceedings initiated by her.
