FILMER & FILMER

In the matter of *Filmer & Filmer*, Dawe J of the Family Court of Australia considered applications made by both the husband and the wife. The precise nature of the dispute is not detailed, but the proceedings involved interlocutory applications that required the court's determination.

The primary legal issues before the court concerned the management of the proceedings during an adjournment. Specifically, the court had to decide whether existing orders should remain in place, the timeline for filing further evidence, and the requirement for the husband to provide an address for service.

Dawe J ordered that the applications filed by both parties be adjourned to 3 December 2012. During this adjournment period, all current orders were to remain in effect. Furthermore, the parties were directed to file and serve any additional affidavit material they intended to rely upon by 26 November 2012. The husband was also required to file and serve a notice of address for service within seven days of the hearing.
