Cavour & Cavour (No 2)

In the matter of *Cavour & Cavour (No 2)*, Johns J of the Family Court of Australia considered a dispute between a husband and wife concerning property, parenting, and allegations of assault. The husband had not attended court, but an extension of time was granted for him to file trial material.

The court was required to determine several issues. These included whether to grant the husband an extension of time to file his trial material, the husband's obligation to provide CCTV footage relating to an alleged assault on him to the wife, the husband's duty to provide information to the wife regarding the sale of a property in Queensland, and the husband's obligation to inform the wife if he intended for the children to sleep at a location other than his residence.

Johns J reasoned that an extension of time was appropriate given the circumstances. The court ordered the husband to provide the wife with CCTV footage concerning the alleged assault. Furthermore, the husband was directed to furnish the wife with information pertaining to the sale of the Queensland property. Finally, the husband was ordered to advise the wife if he proposed that the children sleep at a place other than his house.
