A complex property settlement and spousal maintenance dispute involving thousands of documents. The level of the Husbands net worth was an issue in the claim. The Wife possessed thousands of relevant documents and needed to work closely with the accounting experts and legal teams to draw conclusions about the evidence but lived overseas in a different time-zone.
An injunction was sought by the Husband (who worked in the technology industry) challenging the Wife posting documents on a website ‘Delium’. The injunction was refused – the Judge concluded that all necessary steps had been taken in Delium to reduce the risk of unauthorised access or disclosure.
A dedicated Delium facility was accessed concurrently by both the legal and accounting teams who worked collaboratively to establish the net worth of the Husband. Comments, questions and annotations where applied to documents by the accounting and legal teams and these documents were flagged for the Wife to review and return comment on overnight, significantly reducing the communication lag often associated with overseas witnesses.
Stream-lined communication
Delium security was tested and found to be good.
Why people love Delium
We were presented with 10 folders, the whole case, a little later we were looking at millions – with Delium this wasn’t a problem.
We needed a litigation support environment that would capitalise on our specialist capabilities and perform under very taxing circumstances. Delium delivered what we needed!
Using Delium significantly reduced our clients cost of running the proceedings because most of the time we could work from offices in our home cities rather than travelling to work together.
