Hamen and Hamen

In the matter of *Hamen and Hamen*, Benjamin J of the Family Court of Australia considered a dispute between the parties concerning orders to be made. The proceedings involved applications that were ultimately dismissed.

The primary legal issue before the court was the determination of the orders to be made, which were to be in accordance with a minute of consent order signed by the parties. The court was also required to consider the particulars of the obligations created by these orders, the consequences of contravention, and details of assistance for compliance, as stipulated by sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the relevant legislation.

Benjamin J made orders in accordance with the minute of consent order, which was attached as an exhibit. These orders incorporated the particulars of obligations and consequences as required by statute. The court also ordered the dismissal of all outstanding applications and the return of subpoenaed documents and exhibits to their original custodians. Furthermore, counsel for the mother was directed to provide an electronic version of the consent order to the associate of the court within two days, and a copy of the reasons for the orders was to be placed on the court file. The court certified that it was reasonable to engage counsel to attend the proceedings.
