In a dispute involving the division of properties among the three sons of a successful farming family, a dispute arose about the propriety of one brother including a counterclaim against his siblings which was, it was argued, not sufficiently connected to the subject matter of the proceeding.
Matthew Jones appeared for the plaintiff leading Lachlan Tassell, instructed by Cooper Grace Ward.
Michael Hodge KC (leading A Psaltis) appeared for the first defendant, instructed by Bartley Cohen.
The judgment is published here.
