- FCMC5060/2011
Leave was granted to the Next Friend to disclose, use and adduce the Form E and the Family Court Order dated 19 April 2011 in the specified High Court proceedings because the full Settlement Order was necessary and highly relevant to the issues in the High Court; on a proportionality balancing exercise the public interest in open justice and the necessity of using the documents outweighed the deceased's privacy interests and any restriction that would effectively control High Court case management would be unworkable and cause injustice.
