Jayce and Pierce (No. 2)

This matter concerned an application to vary a previous order made by Foster J in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. The parties, Jayce and Pierce, sought to alter the financial sum stipulated in an order dated 12 December 2019.

The central legal issue before the court was whether to vary the monetary amount previously ordered, pursuant to Rule 17.02 of the Family Law Rules 2004 (Cth). This rule permits the court to vary orders in certain circumstances, and the parties were seeking to invoke this provision.

Foster J considered the application and, applying Rule 17.02, ordered that the sum provided for in the previous order of 12 December 2019 be varied to $48,236. The court's reasoning and the specific factors leading to this variation are not detailed in the provided text, but the outcome reflects an exercise of the court's power to amend its prior financial orders.
