The Case

In the course of ancillary relief proceedings a wife had been manifestly entitled to the investigation and determination she had been seeking in respect of the business records for the husband and wife's businesses, and manifestly entitled to full discovery in advance of that determination. The judge's order dismissing her application would, accordingly, be set aside and the matter remitted to the county court for proper determination.
