TANSEL & DELLOS

In the Federal Circuit Court of Australia, Judge C. E. Kirton QC considered an application by the Respondent Husband to join Mr B, a solicitor, as a party to the proceedings and to seek costs against him. The proceedings concerned the release of medical documents under subpoena.

The court was required to determine whether to dismiss the husband's application to join the solicitor and whether to grant his application for retrospective and prospective costs against the solicitor. A further issue was the release of medical documents pursuant to a subpoena.

The court dismissed the husband's application to join the solicitor and for costs. The reasoning for this dismissal is not detailed in the provided text, but the court did excuse Mr B from compliance with rule 16A.13(2)(b) of the Federal Circuit Court Rules 2001 (Cth) pursuant to rule 1.06 of those Rules.

The final orders of the court were that Mr B be excused from compliance with rule 16A.13(2)(b) of the Federal Circuit Court Rules 2001 (Cth), and that the Application in a Case filed by the Respondent Husband on 21 July 2020 be dismissed.
