Nyles and Nyles

In *Nyles and Nyles*, heard before Mushin J, the primary dispute concerned an application by the father, filed on 28 October 2008, to which the wife responded on 2 December 2008. The court's decision addresses the procedural steps required following the intervention of a third party, T Group Limited.

The central legal issue before the court was whether T Group Limited should be granted leave to be heard in relation to the father's application. This required the court to determine the appropriate process for allowing the company to participate in the proceedings and to outline the steps necessary for it to formally seek to be heard.

Mushin J ordered that T Group Limited be granted leave to apply to be heard on the father's application. The court further directed that the wife serve specific documents, including the current order and reasons for judgment, upon the company. Within 28 days of service, the company was required to file and serve any application to be heard, supported by an affidavit detailing the precise issues it wished to address. Any such application would then be listed for mention to establish a timetable for its hearing. Costs were reserved, and general liberty to apply was granted to both parties and the company.
