Docklands and Mashman (No 4)

In the Family Court of Australia, Mr Docklands (applicant) sought a review of court proceedings, while Ms Mashman (respondent) was involved in the enforcement of previous orders. The dispute concerned Mr Docklands' obligation to vacate a property and allow its sale, as previously ordered by the court.

The court was required to determine whether to continue to enforce a writ of possession against Mr Docklands, who had failed to comply with earlier orders requiring him to vacate the property and provide vacant possession for its sale. The court also considered Mr Docklands' attempt to file a new application seeking a review of court procedures.

The court reasoned that previous orders, including the requirement for Mr Docklands to vacate the property and for the respondent to manage its sale, had not been appealed. Mr Docklands' own material indicated his continued involvement with the property and failure to vacate. The court found that Mr Docklands' attempt to file a new application, which contained unsubstantiated allegations and sought a review of court procedures, was not a valid application and was therefore rejected. The court noted that any complaints about judicial conduct should be directed to the Chief Justice. Consequently, the restriction on the writ of possession was lifted, and the writ would now be enforced.
