Foley and Ford

In the matter of *Foley and Ford*, heard before Cronin J, the parties presented minutes of proposed orders for the Court's approval. The dispute concerned matters that were resolved by consent, leading to the Court's final orders.

The primary legal issue before the Court was to determine the terms of the consent orders and to ensure they complied with relevant legislative provisions. The Court was also required to consider an oral application for costs made by the husband.

Cronin J made orders in accordance with the minutes of proposed orders, which were to be sealed and attached to the judgment. The Court directed that the solicitor for the applicant engross these minutes and deliver them electronically to the Associate within seven days. Furthermore, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the relevant legislation, the Court certified that the particulars of the obligations created by the orders, the consequences of contravention, and details of assistance for compliance were set out in an attached Fact Sheet, which was incorporated into the orders. All outstanding applications were dismissed. The Court also certified that it was reasonable to engage counsel and dismissed the husband's oral application for costs.
