CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Mumford and Mumford*, the wife sought leave to inspect and copy documents produced by Brydens solicitors pursuant to a subpoena, with an exception for documents marked "privileged". The husband also sought to dismiss an application filed by the wife on 1 September 2009. The matter came before Strickland J.

The primary legal issues before the court were whether the wife should be granted leave to inspect and copy the subpoenaed documents, and whether the wife's application filed on 1 September 2009 should be dismissed.

Strickland J ordered that the wife and her legal representatives have leave to inspect and copy the documents produced by Brydens solicitors, with the exception of those documents contained within an envelope marked "privileged". The court also ordered that the application filed by the wife on 1 September 2009 be dismissed and removed from the active pending cases list.
