Paget and Dubois

In the matter of *Paget and Dubois*, heard by Judge Burchardt, the applicant sought an order compelling the respondent to provide a customer authority. This authority was necessary for the applicant to make enquiries with a specified bank regarding any accounts held by the respondent during the years 2009 and 2010. The precise nature of the underlying dispute necessitating these enquiries was not detailed in the provided text.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether it had the power to compel the respondent to furnish the customer authority as requested by the applicant. This involved considering the Court's jurisdiction and the appropriate circumstances for making such an order, particularly in relation to facilitating investigations into potential financial matters.

Judge Burchardt ordered that the respondent provide the applicant with the required customer authority. This would permit the applicant to make enquiries with the bank concerning any accounts held by the respondent in 2009 or 2010. The Court stipulated that the applicant would bear the costs associated with these enquiries, unless a further order was made by the Court.
