A Family Court judge is entitled to use the wide discretionary powers conferred by rr 175 and 175D of the Family Courts Rules to determine interlocutory discovery and interrogatories applications at a judicial conference where doing so is consistent with the purpose of the Rules; on the facts the judge did not err in refusing further discovery because the respondent had made reasonable disclosure and further discovery would be disproportionate to the value remaining in dispute in the estate.
