Collar and Beabry

In the matter of *Collar and Beabry*, Johns J of the Supreme Court of Victoria was required to determine applications for final orders concerning a dispute between the parties.

The central legal issue before the Court was the appropriate procedural step to take in relation to the extant applications for final orders, specifically how to progress these applications towards a final hearing in a timely manner.

Johns J reasoned that the most efficient and practical approach was to allocate all pending applications for final orders to a judicial docket. This would facilitate the listing of the matter for a final hearing as soon as reasonably practicable, thereby advancing the resolution of the dispute. The Court's order reflected a procedural direction aimed at managing the court's caseload and ensuring the expeditious determination of the proceedings.
