Kirk and Mickelham (No. 2)

In *Kirk and Mickelham (No. 2)*, Justice Cronin of the Supreme Court of Victoria considered an application and a response filed by the parties concerning proceedings initiated on 31 March 2008 and 2 April 2008 respectively. The precise nature of the underlying dispute between Kirk and Mickelham is not detailed in the provided text, but the court was tasked with determining the fate of these filed documents and the broader proceedings.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the application and response, and by extension the proceedings to which they related, should be dismissed. The court was required to consider the merits of these filings and decide on the appropriate course of action, including the disposition of the case and any associated costs.

Justice Cronin ordered the dismissal of both the application and the response. Furthermore, all other proceedings were dismissed and removed from the list of cases awaiting a hearing. The court also established a detailed process for any party wishing to make an application for costs, requiring written submissions to be filed and served by specific dates, with any replies to be similarly filed and served. These cost applications were to be determined in Chambers, and the judge certified that it was appropriate to brief counsel in the circumstances.
