Walford and Dore

In the matter of *Walford and Dore*, heard before District Court Judge Faulks, the applicant father sought leave to commence proceedings by way of an application within an existing case, rather than by filing a new application. The father also sought to inspect correspondence on the court file between the mother and court personnel.

The court was required to determine whether to grant the father leave to proceed by application in a case and whether to permit his inspection of correspondence between the mother and court personnel.

Judge Faulks granted the father leave to commence proceedings by application in a case, noting that copies of the relevant correspondence had already been provided to him. The court then ordered that the matter be removed from the pending cases inventory.
