CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Waldman and Waldman*, the Father sought leave from the court to provide an affidavit, including its annexures, to a psychiatrist retained for his assessment in pending criminal proceedings. The proceedings arose from events that occurred on 8 March 2013.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the Father should be granted liberty to provide the specified affidavit and its annexures to his psychiatrist, pursuant to section 121(9)(d) of the relevant legislation. This section likely pertains to the disclosure of documents in family law proceedings.

The court granted the Father liberty to provide the Affidavit of Ms C, filed on 20 December 2012, along with all its annexures, to the psychiatrist retained for his assessment. This decision was made to facilitate the psychiatric assessment for use in the criminal proceedings.
