HARRIS & HARRIS

In the matter of *Harris & Harris*, Murphy J of the Family Court of Australia was required to consider an application for consent orders. The specific nature of the dispute between the parties, beyond the fact that it was brought before the Family Court, is not detailed in the provided text.

The primary legal issue before the court was the determination and formalisation of consent orders as presented by the parties. This involved the court's consideration of the "Minutes of Consent" document, which contained the agreed terms, declarations, and notations to be made.

Murphy J, by consent of the parties, made orders pursuant to Rule 10.17(a) of the *Family Law Rules 2004*. These orders were to be in terms of the agreed "Minutes of Consent" document, which was sealed and attached to the court's orders. The court further ordered the dismissal of all outstanding applications, the removal of the proceedings from the list of cases awaiting finalisation, and the return of all subpoenaed documents and exhibits to their original custodians.
