Ultra Tune Australia boss Sean Buckley has lost a Supreme Court of Victoria bid to force his former partner, Melbourne nurse and bikini model Jennifer Cruz Cole, to hand over recordings she allegedly made of their private conversations. Justice Jim Delany ruled there was no live issue on the pleadings about the existence or content of the recordings that would justify ordering their production. The dispute is part of a long-running and highly public falling-out between the pair, who share a daughter, and it feeds into a wider civil case in which Buckley is seeking damages and orders for the recordings' destruction.

Cole admitted making recordings during the latter part of their relationship, which ended in December 2020, and to sending a recording made at Crown Metropol to Buckley's lawyers and an associate in January 2021. That "Crown Recording" allegedly captured an assault and was circulated to police, media and other associates, leading Cole to plead guilty to contempt of court in 2021; Buckley was later charged with 12 offences, including stalking and assault, which were withdrawn or struck out in 2025, prompting him to bring a private prosecution against Cole. Buckley denies wrongdoing and claims the recordings were edited and that Cole tried to extort money from him, an allegation she denies; the civil trial is listed for November in the Supreme Court of Victoria.
