Castilla and Castilla

In the matter of *Castilla and Castilla*, heard in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia, the applicant sought leave to make a property settlement application under section 79 of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). The respondent's position in relation to this application is not detailed in the provided text.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether to grant the applicant leave to proceed with a section 79 application, pursuant to sections 44(3) and (4) of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). These sections typically impose time limits on the commencement of property settlement proceedings, and the applicant was seeking to overcome these limitations.

The Court granted the applicant leave to file the section 79 application within twenty-eight days of the order. The costs of the application and response were reserved, and the matter was adjourned for mention only in November 2018.
