Curtain & Curtain

In the matter of *Curtain & Curtain*, Mead J of the Family Court of Australia considered applications made by both the wife and the husband. The wife filed an application on 20 November 2019, and the husband filed two applications on 26 November 2019, one of which sought to adjourn all court hearings, including a trial scheduled for 3 and 4 December 2019.

The central legal issues before the court were whether to grant the wife's application and whether to grant the husband's application for an adjournment of the scheduled trial and other hearings. The court was also required to determine the fate of a specific paragraph within the husband's second application.

Mead J dismissed the wife's application filed on 20 November 2019. Furthermore, the court dismissed the husband's application seeking an adjournment of all court hearings, including the trial. The court also dismissed paragraph 3 of the husband's second application.
