LEDARN & LEDARN

In the matter of *Ledarn & Ledarn*, Cronin J of the Family Court of Australia was required to determine a dispute between a husband and wife concerning financial matters. The specific nature of the dispute, beyond the financial orders made, is not detailed in the provided text.

The central legal issue before the court was the determination of financial orders to be made between the parties. This involved assessing the appropriate distribution of assets and liabilities, as evidenced by the court's order for the wife to pay a significant sum to the husband, along with interest.

The court ordered that the wife pay the husband the sum of $202,500, with interest calculated from 16 January 2015 in accordance with Rule 17.03 of the *Family Law Rules 2004*. Furthermore, the court dismissed the amended application in a case filed by the husband and the response to an application in a case filed by the wife, except in relation to any applications for costs. Provisions were made for written submissions regarding costs, with specific timelines for filing and serving applications and responses, and determination in chambers.
