Szynon and Szynon

In the matter of *Szynon and Szynon*, the court, presided over by Loughnan JR, made orders concerning the husband's presence and travel, as well as the production of documents. The dispute appears to involve financial matters and potentially the division of assets, given the references to business settlements and financial statements.

The court was required to determine the necessity of ensuring the husband's personal attendance at a future court date, restricting his ability to leave the Commonwealth of Australia, and facilitating the collection of his passports. Furthermore, the court considered the wife's application for leave to issue subpoenas to various financial institutions and a legal practitioner to obtain documents relevant to the parties' financial affairs, particularly concerning the recent settlement of their business.

Loughnan JR ordered that the husband be personally present in court on 2 July 2009 and restrained him from leaving Australia until further order. The Australian Federal Police were requested to assist in implementing this travel restriction by placing the husband on the Airport Watch List. The court also ordered the husband to deliver all current passports in his name to the Registry Manager. Crucially, leave was granted to the wife to issue subpoenas to St George Bank, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, and Mr Grant Pritchard for specific financial documents, with service to be effected by facsimile on the same day, subject to certain conditions regarding the penalty provisions for non-compliance.

The proceedings were adjourned to the Judicial Duty List on 2 July 2009. The husband was also directed to file and serve various responsive documents, including a Response to the Application for Final Orders and a Financial Statement, as soon as practicable.
