CaseChat Overview and Summary

In the matter of *Sully and Sully*, heard by Gill J, the husband sought leave to rely on affidavit evidence from several individuals at the trial scheduled for 20 November 2017. The wife also sought leave to rely on affidavit evidence from two individuals at the same trial.

The central legal issue before the court was whether to grant leave for the parties to adduce the specified affidavit evidence at the upcoming trial. This involved considering the principles governing the admission of evidence, particularly affidavit evidence, in family law proceedings.

Gill J refused the husband's application for leave to rely on the affidavits of Mr BB, Mr CC, Mr D, Mr EE, Mr FF, Mr GG, and Mr HH. Similarly, the court refused the wife's application for leave to rely on the affidavit material of Mr II and Mr KK. The reasons for these refusals were not detailed in the provided text, but the outcome indicates that the court found insufficient grounds to permit the introduction of this evidence at the trial.
