Batey-Elton and Elton (No 3)

In *Batey-Elton and Elton (No 3)*, the Full Court of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the wife for leave to file an application out of time. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties, beyond the wife's application for leave, is not detailed in the provided text.

The primary legal issue before the Full Court was whether to grant the wife leave to file her application, which was sought to be filed after the expiry of the prescribed time limits. This required the Court to consider the relevant legislative provisions and principles governing the grant of such leave in family law proceedings.

The Court granted the wife leave to file her application on the day of the hearing. However, immediately thereafter, the Court dismissed the wife's application. The reasoning behind the dismissal is not elaborated upon in the provided text, but the outcome indicates that while the procedural hurdle of filing out of time was overcome, the substantive application itself did not succeed.
