Rabkin and Edsall (No 2)

In the matter of *Rabkin and Edsall (No 2)*, Hogan J of the Federal Court of Australia considered an application by the Applicant for leave to rely on specific paragraphs of an affidavit when a witness, Ms S, gave evidence. The proceeding was scheduled to recommence on Tuesday, 8 May 2018.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the Applicant should be granted leave to adduce evidence from Ms S concerning paragraphs 18, 19, and 34(b) of her affidavit filed on 26 August 2013. This involved an assessment of the admissibility and relevance of the proposed evidence in the context of the ongoing proceeding.

Hogan J granted the Applicant leave to rely on the specified paragraphs of Ms S's affidavit. The Court's reasoning and the precise legal principles applied are not detailed in the provided text, but the decision indicates a determination that the evidence contained within those paragraphs was permissible to be presented to the Court through Ms S's testimony. The order was subject to the formal entry of the order in the Court's records.
