Sully and Sully

In the matter of Sully and Sully, Justice Cronin of the Supreme Court of Victoria considered an application filed on 17 September 2018 and a response filed on 19 September 2018. The precise nature of the dispute between the parties is not detailed, but the proceedings involved an application and a response, indicating a contested matter before the Court.

The primary legal issues before the Court concerned the continuation of an injunction relating to the release of materials produced under subpoenae, and the determination of costs associated with these discrete proceedings. The Court also had to consider the possibility of the parties resolving their dispute and the procedure for making consent orders.

Justice Cronin ordered that the application and response be adjourned for further determination on 12 October 2018. Crucially, the injunction preventing the release of subpoenaed materials was continued until further order. The costs of these discrete proceedings were reserved to the return date, and the parties were granted leave to approach the Court to make consent orders, including any arrangements for the resolution of costs disputes, should they reach an agreement.
