CaseChat Overview and Summary

The parties in this matter were Waterman and Waterman. The dispute concerned objections to a subpoena and applications relating to an affidavit of a witness and the administration of questions to a single expert. The case was heard by Foster J.

The court was required to determine whether to dismiss the notice of objection to the subpoena, given the apparent relevance of the documents sought. Additionally, the court had to consider an application for the release of an affidavit of a witness to a single expert, and an application for leave to administer questions to that single expert.

Foster J granted the application for leave to administer questions to the single expert. The court also ordered the release of the affidavit of the witness to the single expert. The reasoning behind these decisions was not detailed in the provided text, beyond the court's finding of apparent relevance for the subpoenaed documents and the granting of the applications.

The final orders made by the court were that the application for leave to administer questions to the single expert was granted, and the application for the release of the affidavit of the witness to the single expert was also granted.
