Choi and Lin

In the matter of *Choi and Lin*, heard before Cronin J, the dispute concerned financial issues between the parties, Ms Choi and Mr Lin. The court's orders indicate that a hearing previously scheduled for 2 June 2011 was vacated.

The primary legal issues before the court involved the resolution of outstanding financial matters between the parties and the prevention of their departure from the Commonwealth of Australia. The court also addressed the process for finalising agreed orders.

Cronin J ordered that the parties attend a conciliation conference with a registrar to make a bona fide endeavour to resolve their financial issues. Crucially, the court issued an order restraining both Ms Choi and Mr Lin from departing Australia until further order, requesting the Australian Federal Police to place their names on the Airport Watch List. The court also made orders by consent in accordance with minutes of proposed orders, directing that these minutes be sealed and attached to the court file, and that the solicitor for the wife engross and deliver them to the Associate within seven days. Reasons for judgment were to be transcribed and made available to the parties.
