CaseChat Overview and Summary

In the matter of *Kenyon and Hampton*, heard before Judge Henderson, the wife sought to set aside consent orders previously made on 26 January 2016. The specific nature of the dispute leading to the original consent orders and the wife's grounds for seeking to set them aside are not detailed in the provided text.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the wife had established sufficient grounds to justify setting aside the existing consent orders. This required the court to consider the legal principles governing the setting aside of consent orders in family law proceedings.

Judge Henderson dismissed the wife's application to set aside the consent orders. While the reasoning behind this decision is not elaborated upon in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the wife failed to satisfy the legal threshold required to overturn the previously agreed-upon orders. The court also reserved the issue of costs relating to both the application to set aside the orders and the wife's enforcement application.
