Kanes and Thorley

The proceeding involved an application by Kanes and a response by Thorley. The court was required to determine certain interim and final orders sought by the applicant, as well as to set a trial date and establish procedural directions for the conduct of the trial.

The legal issues before the court included the validity and scope of specific interim and final orders sought by the applicant, and the appropriate procedural framework for the upcoming trial. The court also had to consider the relevant provisions of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) that would form the basis of the parties' contentions.

Judge Wilson dismissed paragraphs 1, 9, 10, and 11 of the amended initiating application. The court then fixed the trial for 10 December 2018, with a duration of one day. Procedural directions were issued regarding the filing of affidavits by both parties, the conferral and preparation of evidentiary objections, the formulation of an agreed list of issues, and the filing of case outlines. These case outlines were to include a chronology, contentions regarding specific sections of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), and the precise orders sought.
