Re Day

The High Court of Australia, sitting as the Court of Disputed Returns, considered a matter concerning Mr Robert John Day AO. The immediate dispute before the Court involved an application by Ms McEwen for leave to rely upon two documents, a "Supporting Facts List" and a "Supplementary Bundle", at the trial scheduled to commence shortly thereafter.

The central legal issue was whether Ms McEwen should be granted leave to introduce these documents into evidence at the trial. The Court was required to determine the admissibility of the "Supporting Facts List" and the "Supplementary Bundle" in the context of the ongoing proceedings concerning Mr Day.

Her Honour refused Ms McEwen leave to rely upon the "Supporting Facts List" and the "Supplementary Bundle" at the trial. The Court's ruling on this interlocutory matter was published on 19 January 2017, and the matter was subsequently adjourned on 20 January 2017.
