Narkis and Narkis

In the matter of *Narkis and Narkis*, heard before Cronin J, the proceedings concerned a dispute between a husband and wife, with the Independent Children's Lawyer also involved. The specific nature of the underlying dispute is not detailed, but the orders indicate a disagreement regarding the wife's amended response and objections to subpoenas issued to Victoria Police and the TT Hospital.

The court was required to determine whether to dismiss the wife's amended response, and to rule on objections made by the TT Hospital and Victoria Police to subpoenas seeking information. The court also had to consider the costs associated with the Independent Children's Lawyer and the respondent husband.

Cronin J dismissed the wife's amended response. The objections by the TT Hospital to a subpoena were also dismissed, with the information provided to be released for inspection but not copying. Similarly, the objection by Victoria Police to a subpoena was dismissed, and any information produced was to be released for both inspection and copying. The costs of the Independent Children's Lawyer were fixed at $552 and reserved to the trial, as were the costs of the respondent husband, who was granted leave to file further material concerning costs.
