Ashe & Ashe

This matter concerned an application by Mr Ashe against Ms Ashe. The applicant sought to appeal a divorce order made on 7 September 2016, requesting an extension of time to file a notice of appeal. The court was presided over by Monahan J.

The primary legal issues before the court were whether to grant the applicant an extension of time to seek a review of the Registrar's divorce order and whether to grant leave for the applicant to pursue late-filed property proceedings against the respondent.

Monahan J declined to grant the applicant leave to pursue late-filed property proceedings. Furthermore, the court declined to extend the time for a review of the Registrar's divorce order made on 7 September 2016. The court's reasoning led to the dismissal of the application in a case filed on 7 February 2020, the discharge of paragraph 2 of orders made on 7 December 2020, and the dismissal of all other extant applications.
