Walters and Walters and Anor (No. 2)

In *Walters and Walters and Anor (No. 2)*, Foster J of the Federal Court of Australia considered an application by B Pty Ltd for costs arising from its objection to a subpoena issued by the wife. The dispute concerned the wife's entitlement to production of documents from B Pty Ltd, which had objected to the subpoena.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether B Pty Ltd should be awarded its costs in relation to its objection to the wife's subpoena for the production of documents.

Foster J ordered that B Pty Ltd pay the wife's costs of and incidental to the proceedings relating to B Pty Ltd's objection to the wife's subpoena. These costs were to be agreed upon within one month, or assessed by the court in default of agreement.
