Hurley and Hurley

In *Hurley and Hurley*, heard before Cronin J, the proceedings concerned an application by the wife's practitioners for leave to serve a copy of the court's orders and reasons for judgment on specific third parties. These parties included Mr B, acting as receiver for C Lawyers, Mr D, and Mr E, who was the trustee for the F Superannuation Fund.

The central legal issue before the court was whether to grant the wife's practitioners permission to serve these documents on the named individuals in their respective capacities. This required the court to consider the circumstances under which such service on third parties, who were not direct parties to the original dispute, would be permissible and appropriate.

Cronin J granted the application, allowing the practitioners for the wife leave to serve the orders and reasons for judgment on Mr B as receiver for C Lawyers, Mr D, and Mr E as trustee for the F Superannuation Fund. The court's decision was based on the necessity of informing these individuals of the court's determination, likely in relation to matters affecting their interests or responsibilities arising from the underlying dispute. The form of the order was noted as being subject to the formal entry of the order in the Court’s records.
