Authoritative coverage on the law and practice relating to subpoenas in the context of family law matters
Publisher: LexisNexis Australia
The law and practice relating to subpoenas in family law matters can raise problems both for the person responsible for the issue of a subpoena and for the person against whom a subpoena has been issued. For the person who issues a subpoena it is important to ensure that the correct steps have been taken in accordance with the relevant rules. For the person against whom a subpoena has been issued, it is important to understand the obligation that a subpoena imposes, and ways in which a subpoena may be challenged and set aside.
In this important new text, the author clearly sets out all aspects of the process and explains the requirements under the changes to the family law rules that commenced in both the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia and the Family Court of Western Australia in 2021. The detailed coverage will be of benefit to family lawyers, litigants-in-person, and also to compliance officers of large companies and other entities that are tasked with complying with family law subpoenas.
