Kitt and Kitt

The parties, Kitt and Kitt, brought an application before Judge Newbrun of the Family Court of Australia seeking to set aside consent orders made on 4 November 2015. The precise nature of the dispute leading to the original consent orders is not detailed, but the application focused on whether those orders should be vacated.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the existing consent orders, made by agreement between the parties, should be set aside. This required the court to consider the grounds upon which consent orders in family law matters can be discharged or varied, particularly where one party seeks to resile from the agreement.

Judge Newbrun's reasoning, as indicated by the orders made, was that the consent orders of 4 November 2015 were indeed to be set aside. While the specific legal principles or factual findings that led to this conclusion are not elaborated in the provided text, the outcome signifies that the court found sufficient grounds to invalidate the previously agreed-upon orders.

Consequently, the court ordered that the consent orders made on 4 November 2015 in the Family Court of Australia be set aside.
