CaseChat Overview and Summary

In the matter of *Swinley and Swinley*, Brown J considered applications relating to disclosure and evidence in family law proceedings. The dispute involved the husband and wife, with specific applications concerning the filing of affidavits, the subpoena of a witness, and the dismissal of a form filed by the husband.

The court was required to determine whether to grant leave for the husband to file further affidavits and to subpoena Dr. B, and whether to dismiss the husband's form filed on 9 November 2007. Additionally, the court addressed the compliance of Ms. P with a notice of non-party disclosure and the allocation of costs associated with that compliance.

Brown J made several orders, including granting the husband leave to file affidavits by 14 December 2007 and leave to subpoena Dr. B. The husband's form filed on 9 November 2007 was dismissed. The court also ordered Ms. P to comply with the notice of non-party disclosure as soon as practicable, with the wife to bear the reasonable costs of compliance, to be agreed or determined by the court. All extant applications were adjourned for hearing before Brown J.
