Walford & Walford (No. 2)

In *Walford & Walford (No. 2)*, Guest J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application concerning alleged non-disclosure of documents by the husband in family law proceedings. The wife had raised concerns regarding the husband's disclosure practices.

The central legal issue before the court was the extent and nature of the husband's alleged non-disclosure of documents and the appropriate procedural steps to address this issue. The court was required to determine how best to investigate and resolve the wife's allegations of inadequate disclosure.

Guest J ordered that both the husband and wife were to file affidavits by a specified date, specifically addressing the issue of the husband's alleged non-disclosure. The court also reserved the costs thrown away by the adjournment of the proceedings for further evidence and submissions. The further hearing of all outstanding applications was adjourned to a later date, and the court determined that the matter reasonably required the attendance of counsel.
