Brown and Brown (No. 3)

In *Brown and Brown (No. 3)*, heard before Moore J, the applicants sought to have certain applications dismissed. The case concerned the further editing of a previous court-published judgment, *Brown and Brown* [2007] FamCA 493, to comply with the reasons for judgment delivered on this occasion.

The primary legal issue before the court was the extent to which the previously published judgment should be edited to align with the current reasons for judgment, and the conditions under which such an edited version could be published. The court was required to determine the specific modifications necessary and the timeline for their implementation.

Moore J ordered that the applications filed on 21 and 22 November 2007 be dismissed, with the exception that the court-edited version of *Brown and Brown* [2007] FamCA 493 was to be further edited to conform to the reasons for judgment delivered. The applicants were granted liberty to lodge this revised judgment by 31 January 2008. Furthermore, the operation of the dismissal order and the publication of the reasons for judgment were stayed until 4pm on 31 January 2008, allowing for the necessary edits to be made and lodged.
