Lanegan and Kodi

In the matter of *Lanegan and Kodi*, Johns J of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia was required to determine the appropriate course of action regarding outstanding applications for final orders in proceedings between the parties.

The central legal issue before the Court was how to efficiently manage and progress the extant applications for final orders to ensure a timely resolution of the proceedings.

Johns J ordered that all extant applications for final orders be allocated to a judicial docket. This allocation is for the purpose of listing the matter for a final hearing as soon as is reasonably practicable. The Court noted that the precise form of this order is subject to its formal entry into the Court's records.
