Hengki and Nadya

In the matter of *Hengki and Nadya*, heard before Cronin J, the dispute concerned applications for final orders in family law proceedings. The court was required to determine the procedural steps necessary to advance the proceedings towards a final hearing, including the designation of parties, the filing of amended applications and responses, and the resolution of interim applications.

The court's reasoning focused on ensuring clarity and precision in the orders sought by each party. To this end, it was ordered that the wife be designated the applicant and the husband the respondent. Both parties were directed to file and serve amended applications and responses, respectively, by specific dates, detailing with precision the final orders they sought. The court also addressed interim applications, ordering their dismissal with the exception of those incorporated into agreed minutes of proposed interim orders.

By consent, the court made orders in accordance with the minutes of proposed interim orders, which were to be sealed and attached to the court file. Further directions were given for the engrossment and delivery of these minutes. The court also made specific orders regarding the provision of information to the parties concerning their obligations, the consequences of contravention, and available assistance, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the relevant legislation. All outstanding applications for final orders were adjourned to a future date before Justice Macmillan.
