West and West (No 2)

In *West and West (No 2)*, heard before Tree J, the proceedings concerned an application to set aside a subpoena. The specific details of the underlying dispute between the parties, Mr and Mrs West, are not elaborated upon in the provided text, beyond the fact that a subpoena had been issued.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether certain documents, sought by subpoena, fell within an exception to the general rule that would permit their production. The Court was required to determine the nature of these exceptions and whether the documents in question met the criteria for such an exception.

Tree J directed that the solicitors for Relationships Australia, within 24 hours, provide the Court with copies of any documents that qualified for an exception to the setting aside of the subpoena. Alternatively, they were to file and serve an affidavit confirming the non-existence of such documents. This indicates the Court's intention to scrutinise the documents or the absence thereof before making a final determination on the subpoena's validity.
