Jones and Kitt

In *Jones and Kitt*, the applicant sought property orders arising out of a de facto relationship. The respondent challenged the Court's jurisdiction to hear the application.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether it possessed the necessary jurisdiction to entertain the application for property orders concerning the de facto relationship.

Judge Scarlett determined that the Court did have jurisdiction to hear the application. The Court's reasoning, though not detailed in the provided text, led to the declaration that jurisdiction was established. The Court also made orders regarding any future applications for costs, requiring written submissions within one month of the date of the orders.
