It is understood that one of the parties (the husband) has applied for special leave to appeal to the High Court against the decision of the Full Court of the Family Court in FCT v Darling [2014] FamCAFC 59. The Full Court of the Family Court had ruled that the Court at first instance wrongly applied its discretion to prevent the Commissioner from using certain documents filed in the Court for the purposes of a tax audit of one of the parties (the husband) to the proceedings (and related entities) in relation to the 1991 to 2010 income years.
