Hurley and Hurley (No 2)

In *Hurley and Hurley (No 2)*, Cronin J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the applicant and a response by the respondent, both seeking interim orders. The dispute concerned matters arising within the context of family law proceedings.

The primary legal issues before the court were whether to grant the interim orders sought by each party. The court was required to assess the merits of these applications in light of the relevant legal principles governing interim relief in family law matters.

Cronin J dismissed both the applicant's and the respondent's applications for interim orders, save for issues relating to costs. The court then made orders in terms of minutes presented on 11 January 2017, with directions for the applicant's solicitors to engross and forward these minutes. The substantive orders sought by the original application and response were adjourned to a directions hearing before a registrar on 6 March 2017.
