Witham v Holloway

The High Court of Australia considered an application by John William Holloway for an order that his solicitor had ceased to act for him. The matter came before the Court on 17 August 1993, following a previous hearing on 9 August 1993.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether to grant the order sought by the applicant, which would formally declare that his solicitor was no longer acting in the matter. The Court was presented with an affidavit of service indicating that the summons and other relevant documents had been served by post at two specified addresses.

The Court, having been informed of the service and the applicant's request, made an order in the terms sought in the summons. The matter was then adjourned sine die.
