Edwards and Edwards (No.2)

In *Edwards and Edwards (No.2)*, Johns J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered an application by the husband alleging contravention of a final order made in family law proceedings. The specific nature of the alleged contravention, and the terms of the final order itself, are not detailed in the provided text, but the husband sought to have the wife found in contravention.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the wife had contravened the final order as alleged by the husband. This required the court to assess the evidence presented by both parties against the terms of the existing order and the relevant provisions of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) concerning contravention.

Johns J dismissed the husband's application. While the specific reasoning is not elaborated upon in the provided text, the dismissal indicates that the court was not satisfied, on the evidence before it, that the wife had contravened the final order. The court's decision reflects an assessment of the factual circumstances in light of the legal standard required to establish a contravention.
