Frost and Slater

In the matter of *Frost and Slater*, heard by Cronin J, the applicant sought leave to proceed with an application out of time pursuant to section 44(6) of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, beyond the fact that it necessitated an application to the court.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant the applicant permission to file her application beyond the prescribed time limits. This required the court to consider the criteria and discretion afforded by section 44(6) of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) in such circumstances.

Cronin J granted the applicant leave to proceed with her application out of time. Following this determination, the court made orders by consent in accordance with minutes of proposed orders that had been presented and marked as Exhibit "A". These minutes were subsequently sealed, attached to the court's record, and directed to remain on the court file. The solicitor for the wife was then instructed to engross these minutes and deliver them electronically to the Associate within seven days.
