Ledarn and Ledarn (No 2)

In *Ledarn and Ledarn (No 2)*, the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the husband for enforcement of certain orders, and the wife's response to that application.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the husband's application for enforcement was valid and should be granted, and consequently, whether the wife's response was necessary or appropriate.

Cronin J dismissed both the husband's application for enforcement and the wife's response, save for issues relating to costs. The Court directed that any applications for costs were to be made by written submission, with a deadline for initial submissions and a subsequent deadline for replies, with the determination to be made in chambers. The Court also certified that it was appropriate for both parties to have been represented by counsel, including senior counsel and two counsel.
