Vrebac and Vrebac

In the matter of *Vrebac and Vrebac*, Johns J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the wife concerning property and the production of documents. The dispute involved restraining the husband from entering or taking possession of property located at 1 C Street and 2 C Street, Suburb D, Victoria, and addressing the removal of his motor vehicles from that property. The wife also sought to extend the time for compliance with subpoenas directed to E Pty Ltd and F Pty Ltd for the production of documents.

The court was required to determine whether to grant interim orders restraining the husband's access to the specified property and to make directions regarding the removal of his vehicles. Additionally, the court had to consider the wife's application for an extension of time for compliance with subpoenas issued to third parties, E Pty Ltd and F Pty Ltd, and the potential consequences of non-compliance.

Johns J ordered that the husband be restrained from entering or taking possession of the property at 1 C Street and 2 C Street, Suburb D, Victoria, until further order. The court further ordered that if the husband failed to remove his motor vehicles from the property within seven days, the wife would be at liberty to arrange for their removal by towing. The time for compliance with the subpoenas directed to E Pty Ltd and F Pty Ltd was extended to the directions hearing on 28 June 2019, with the wife to provide sealed copies of these orders to the witnesses within 72 hours. All other extant interim applications were dismissed. The court noted that the wife intended to seek leave to apply for a warrant of arrest should the witnesses fail to comply with the subpoenas.
