Chen & Tan (No 3)

In *Chen & Tan (No 3)*, Bell J considered an application by the husband concerning the execution of an order made by Registrar Coutts on 21 June 2012. The dispute revolved around the finalisation of orders following an appeal to the Full Court.

The primary legal issue before Bell J was the appropriate course of action for the execution of the Registrar's order, given the pending Full Court judgment on appeal. This required the court to determine how to proceed with the existing orders in light of the ongoing appellate process.

Bell J reasoned that the execution of the Registrar's order should be temporarily suspended pending the outcome of the Full Court appeal. The court ordered that the execution of the order be returned to Registrar Coutts within fourteen days of the Full Court judgment being published, to allow for any necessary amendments to be made. Costs were reserved.
