Aiten and Aiten

In the matter of *Aiten and Aiten*, heard before Cronin J, the dispute concerned the finalisation of orders, the particulars of which were set out in minutes of proposed orders. The court was required to determine the specific terms of these orders and to ensure that the parties were fully informed of their obligations and the consequences of non-compliance.

The court's reasoning focused on the need for clarity and enforceability of the final orders. Pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the relevant legislation, Cronin J directed that the particulars of the obligations created by the orders, the potential consequences of contravention, and information regarding assistance for compliance be included in a Fact Sheet attached to the orders. This ensured that the parties had a comprehensive understanding of the binding nature of the court's decision.

The final orders were made in accordance with the agreed minutes, which were sealed and attached to the court's record. The solicitor for the wife was directed to engross these minutes and submit them electronically within seven days. Furthermore, all other outstanding applications in the matter were dismissed.
