Harrold and Harrold

In *Harrold and Harrold*, heard before Young J, the dispute concerned applications made by the parties in family law proceedings. The specific matter before the court involved a request by the solicitor for the wife to withdraw a Contravention Application filed on 12 July 2010.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant leave for the withdrawal of the Contravention Application. The court also had to determine the disposition of costs associated with that application and the listing of the matter on 19 July 2010, and to set a timetable for the remaining applications.

Young J granted leave for the solicitor for the wife to withdraw the Contravention Application, subject to a right of reinstatement upon the filing of proper material and the court's leave. Costs related to the withdrawn application and its listing were reserved to the trial judge. The court then directed that all extant applications be listed for case management and further directions before Young J on 21 March 2011, with a three-day defended hearing scheduled to commence on 27 June 2011. Both parties were ordered to attend the 21 March 2011 directions hearing with their solicitors.
