Civil Appeal – Maintenance Pending Suit – Disclosure of Financial Documents – Procedure – Established Principle – No Detailed Inquiry into Assets – Appeal Stage – Ancillary Relief – Costs – No Order. The Court held that for maintenance pending suit applications, judges should not conduct a detailed inquiry into the assets of the parties. The Appellant's application for disclosure of documents regarding the Respondent's financial resources was procedurally inappropriate for an appeal against the refusal of maintenance pending suit. The summons was set aside. No costs order was made as both parties were unrepresented and had no work.
Legal issues: Disclosure of financial documents in maintenance pending suit appeal
