Ramsey and Ramsey and Ors (No.2)

In *Ramsey and Ramsey and Ors (No.2)*, Forrest J of the Supreme Court of Western Australia considered an application concerning the disclosure of financial documents. The dispute involved the Applicant, the First Respondent, and the Second Respondent, with the Applicant seeking specific financial information pertaining to B Pty Ltd.

The central legal issue before the Court was the form and content of an order requiring the Second Respondent to provide monthly balance sheets and bank statements for B Pty Ltd to the Applicant and the First Respondent. This included determining the appropriate undertakings to be given by the Applicant to ensure the documents were used solely for the purpose of the proceedings.

Forrest J ordered that the Second Respondent must provide the Applicant and the First Respondent with monthly balance sheets and bank statements for B Pty Ltd, commencing from 1 July 2019 and on the first day of each subsequent month. This order was contingent upon the Applicant providing an undertaking to the Court that these documents, and any information contained within them, would not be used for any purpose other than in the course of the proceedings. The final form of the order was subject to its entry into the Court's records.
