In the matter of *Ihab and Aarif (No. 2)*, Justice Cronin of the Family Court of Australia considered applications within proceedings concerning the welfare of children. The specific nature of the dispute, beyond the involvement of children, is not detailed in the provided text.

The court was required to determine whether to grant an adjournment for outstanding applications and whether to permit the Secretary of the Department of Human Services Victoria to intervene in the proceedings. The court also considered the need for its reasons for judgment to be transcribed and expedited for the Department's review.

Justice Cronin ordered that all outstanding applications be adjourned to a specified date and time. Crucially, the court requested that the Secretary of the Department of Human Services Victoria intervene in the proceedings pursuant to section 91B of the *Family Law Act 1975*. The court further ordered that its reasons for judgment be transcribed and expedited, with a copy to be provided to the relevant officer of the Department along with the court's order.
