Gull and Gull (No. 2)

In *Gull and Gull (No. 2)*, Brown J of the Family Court of Australia considered applications made by both the wife and the husband. The wife had filed a Form 2 application on 6 July 2007, and the husband had filed a Form 2A response on 6 August 2007. The specific nature of the dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, beyond the fact that these applications were made in the context of ongoing family law proceedings.

The primary legal issue before the court was the determination of the applications filed by the wife and the husband. The court was required to decide whether to grant or dismiss these applications, and to make consequential orders regarding the evidence and costs. A further issue was whether the matter reasonably required the attendance of counsel, pursuant to Rule 19.50 of the *Family Law Rules 2004*.

Brown J made several orders. The court directed that evidence given by the husband on 20 June 2007 be transcribed and provided to both parties. The wife was ordered to provide an irrevocable authority to Centrelink within seven days, to give effect to a specific paragraph of earlier orders made by Justice Bennett on 20 June 2007. The wife's Form 2 application and the husband's Form 2A response were otherwise dismissed. The husband's costs for the day were reserved, and the reasons for judgment were to be transcribed and made available to the parties. The court also noted that the matter was listed for a final hearing on 25 November 2007.
