PARKER & PARKER

In the matter of *Parker & Parker*, Benjamin J of the Family Court of Australia considered issues arising from production of a subpoena. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties, Parker and Parker, is not detailed in the provided text, beyond the fact that it necessitated the issuance and consideration of a subpoena.

The central legal issue before the Court was the production of documents pursuant to a subpoena. The Court was required to determine whether the subpoena should be complied with, and to make directions regarding its production and the associated costs.

Benjamin J directed that the proceedings be listed for mention on a specific date to address the subpoena. The Court also reserved the costs of both parties, indicating that a final determination on costs would be made at a later stage. Furthermore, the Court directed that a copy of the reasons concerning the production of the subpoena be placed on the court file and certified that it was reasonable to engage counsel to attend the proceedings, pursuant to Rule 19.50 of the Family Law Rules 2004.
