Easterlefa And Giannopoulos

Rees J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered a dispute concerning the validity of a divorce order. The parties involved were Easterlefa and Giannopoulos, and the central issue was whether a divorce order previously made by the Federal Magistrates Court on 4 April 2013 remained valid.

The court was required to determine whether the divorce order of 4 April 2013 was valid and, if not, whether it should be set aside. This involved an examination of the circumstances surrounding the making of the original divorce order and the court's power to review and potentially invalidate such orders.

Rees J exercised the Court's power under section 113 of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) to make a declaration that the divorce order of 4 April 2013 was invalid. Consequently, the court ordered that the divorce order be set aside.
