Kest & Olsson

In the matter of Kest & Olsson, Dawe J of the Family Court of Australia presided over a dispute between the parties concerning family law matters. The specific nature of the dispute, beyond its family law context, is not detailed in the provided text.

The court was required to determine the appropriate orders to be made in relation to the proceedings. This included considering the consent of the parties, the appointment of an Independent Children’s Lawyer, and the matter of costs.

By consent, the court made orders in terms of minutes signed by the parties' solicitors. The appointment of the Independent Children’s Lawyer was discharged, and no order was made as to costs. All matters were subsequently removed from the active pending list.
