Holinski & Holinski (No 2)

In the matter of *Holinski & Holinski (No 2)*, Hannam J of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia considered an application by the mother to re-open proceedings. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, but the application to re-open suggests a prior determination or hearing had occurred.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the mother's application to re-open the proceedings should be granted. This required the court to consider the principles governing the re-opening of final or interlocutory orders and judgments in family law matters.

Hannam J refused the mother's application to re-open the proceedings. While the specific reasoning is not elaborated upon in the provided text, the decision indicates that the court applied established legal principles concerning the circumstances under which proceedings can be re-opened, likely considering factors such as finality of litigation, the need for fresh evidence, or material non-disclosure. The court adjourned the matter for the delivery of a reserved judgment, indicating that further substantive considerations or detailed reasons were to follow.
