Harshani and Darnith (No 2)

In the matter of *Harshani and Darnith (No 2)*, Bennett J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the husband seeking leave to file a contravention application, and the mother's response to that application.

The primary legal issue before the court was the procedural management of the husband's application for leave to file a contravention application, and the mother's response thereto. The court was required to determine how best to proceed with these applications in the interests of efficient case management.

Bennett J directed that the husband's application and the mother's response be adjourned to the Judicial Duty List for a specific date. Furthermore, the court ordered that an accredited interpreter be booked for the mother for that adjourned date, indicating a consideration for the mother's ability to participate effectively in the proceedings. The father's proposed contravention application was marked as an exhibit and retained on the court file.
