FINCH & FINCH

In *Finch & Finch*, Hogan J of the Family Court of Australia considered an Amended Initiating Application filed by the Husband on 21 December 2012. The precise nature of the dispute between the parties, the Husband and the Wife, is not detailed in the provided text, but it was the subject of the application before the court.

The central legal issue before Hogan J was the determination of the Amended Initiating Application. The court was required to decide whether to grant or dismiss this application.

Hogan J ordered that the Amended Initiating Application filed on 21 December 2012 be dismissed. Furthermore, the Husband was ordered to pay the Wife’s costs associated with this application, with the exception of costs relating to the appearance on 18 February 2013. These costs are to be agreed between the parties or, failing agreement, assessed according to the Family Law Rules (2004) on a party/party basis.
