Bersce and Bersce

In the matter of *Bersce and Bersce*, Justice Cronin of the Family Court of Australia considered applications made by both parties. The precise nature of the dispute is not detailed, but the proceedings involved interim applications and substantive final applications concerning family law matters.

The court was required to determine whether to grant the interim applications made by the parties. Furthermore, the court needed to set a date for the hearing of the substantive final applications.

Justice Cronin dismissed all interim applications. The court reasoned that the matters raised in these applications were not sufficiently urgent or compelling to warrant separate determination before the final hearing. Consequently, the court ordered that the substantive final applications of both parties be listed for hearing on 1 April 2011. The costs of the day were reserved to the trial judge, and the parties and their legal practitioners were directed to note a document relating to the first day of trial.
