Harvey and Harvey and Anor

In the matter of *Harvey and Harvey and Anor*, Johns J of the Family Court of Australia considered applications made by the husband concerning financial matters. The dispute involved the husband's applications under section 90AE of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), which relate to financial agreements. The wife and an intervener were also parties to the proceedings.

The primary legal issue before the court was the determination of the husband's applications made pursuant to section 90AE of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). These applications sought to address certain aspects of financial agreements between the parties. The court was required to consider the submissions of all parties in relation to these applications.

Johns J reasoned that the existing orders of 16 June 2017, specifically paragraphs 6 to 9, should be discharged. The court then established a detailed timetable for the filing of written submissions by the wife, the husband, and the intervener concerning the husband's section 90AE applications. This process was designed to allow each party to present their arguments and respond to those of the other parties, with a view to the eventual determination of the applications. The court also noted that the final form of the orders was subject to their entry in the Court's records.
