Carlisle and Ridley

In the matter of *Carlisle and Ridley*, heard before Macmillan J, the proceedings involved an application by the father and the legal personal representative of the deceased mother. The nature of the dispute, as evidenced by the initiating application and response, concerned matters that were ultimately discontinued.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant leave to discontinue the proceedings. The court was also required to determine the appropriate course of action for the remaining matters on the list of cases awaiting hearing.

Macmillan J granted leave to discontinue the proceedings as contained in the father's amended initiating application and the mother's response. The court further directed that the Deed of Release, Confirmation of Terms of Trust, and Licence Agreement, all dated 23 August 2014, be marked as exhibits and retained on the court file. The court noted that neither party sought any order for costs.
