Idris and Kadar

In the matter of *Idris and Kadar*, heard before Mushin J in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, the applications before the court were dismissed.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the matter reasonably required the attendance of counsel, as contemplated by Rule 19.50 of the *Family Law Rules 2004*.

Mushin J determined that the circumstances of the case did indeed warrant the attendance of counsel. The court certified that the matter reasonably required such attendance, leading to the dismissal of all applications and their removal from the list of active cases.
