Srbinovska and Srbinovska & Anor (No 2)

In *Srbinovska and Srbinovska & Anor (No 2)*, heard before Le Poer Trench J, the proceedings concerned a dispute within a family law matter involving objections to a subpoena, the appointment of a trustee for sale of properties, and the expedition of a final hearing. The parties involved were the wife, the husband, and a second respondent.

The court was required to determine several key issues. These included whether a subpoena issued against the second respondent's solicitors should be set aside, the appropriateness of appointing the second respondent as trustee for the sale of two properties, and whether the wife's application for final orders should be expedited. Additionally, the court considered the obligation of the husband and second respondent to serve documents from separate Supreme Court proceedings on the wife, and whether the second respondent should be relieved of the obligation to file a Financial Statement.

Le Poer Trench J reasoned that the subpoena issued against the second respondent's solicitors should be set aside, indicating a determination that legal professional privilege likely applied. The court adjourned the application for the appointment of a trustee for sale, deeming it appropriate to be dealt with at the final hearing. The wife's application for final orders was expedited and listed for hearing. The court also ordered that documents filed in related Supreme Court proceedings be served on the wife and relieved the second respondent from filing a Financial Statement.
