Freer and Freer and Ors (No 5)

The proceedings involved the husband and wife, with Mr Rickards as an intervener. The dispute concerned applications filed by the wife and the intervener, which were adjourned by the court.

The court was required to determine the future conduct of the proceedings, specifically the timing of various filings and the payment of costs.

Strickland J ordered that further consideration of the applications by the wife and the intervener be adjourned to a later date. The husband was ordered to pay costs thrown away as a result of the adjournment, and his time to file and serve his Amended Response, updated affidavit of evidence in chief, and updated financial statement was extended.
