In *Sullivan & Sullivan & Anor*, the parties sought leave to inspect material produced by Westpac Banking Corporation in response to a subpoena. The material in question included documents contained within a sealed envelope, which were marked as "Subject to objection".

The central legal issue before Fowler J was whether leave should be granted for the parties to inspect this subpoenaed material, particularly that which had been sealed and objected to.

Fowler J granted leave to all parties to inspect the material produced by Westpac Banking Corporation. This included the documents within the sealed envelope that had been marked "Subject to objection", indicating that the court was satisfied that inspection was appropriate in the circumstances.
