Connor and Eaton

In the matter of *Connor and Eaton*, heard before Judge Wilson of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia, the proceedings concerned an application by the applicant and a response from the respondent, the details of which are not fully elaborated but appear to involve a dispute over property division.

The court was required to determine the procedural steps necessary to advance the resolution of the parties' dispute. This involved considering the appropriate mechanisms for disclosure, valuation, and the preparation of the case for a final hearing.

Judge Wilson dismissed all outstanding interim applications, indicating a shift towards final resolution. The court ordered the parties to attend a Conciliation Conference, requiring them to exchange specific documents, including market appraisals or valuations of disputed assets and superannuation interests, and proposed orders. The matter was then adjourned for a Final Hearing, with strict timelines set for the filing and service of further affidavits, agreed asset and liability tables, and detailed outlines of case. These outlines were to address specific issues such as the inclusion and valuation of assets, contributions, and relevant factors under section 75(2) of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), as well as the precise orders sought.
