HALLEY & HALLEY

In *Halley & Halley*, the wife sought parenting orders against the husband. The husband filed a response to the wife's application. The wife subsequently discontinued her application.

The central legal issue before Cronin J was whether the wife should be restrained from pursuing any further proceedings under the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) concerning parenting orders against the husband, without first obtaining leave of the Court. The Court also considered the husband's costs.

Cronin J ordered that the wife be restrained from pursuing further parenting proceedings against the husband without leave. This decision was made on the basis of the husband's filed response, following the wife's discontinuance of her application. The Court also ordered the wife to pay the husband's costs fixed at $8514, and otherwise dismissed the husband's response.
