Lefevre and Lefevre

In *Lefevre and Lefevre*, Johns J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia was required to determine whether to strike out the husband's Initiating Application and Amended Initiating Application, and the wife's Response to Initiating Application. The court also considered whether to discharge the order for the appointment of an Independent Children's Lawyer.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the applications filed by both parties, and the appointment of the Independent Children's Lawyer, were appropriate in the circumstances. This involved an assessment of the procedural validity and substantive merit of the filed documents and the necessity of ongoing independent representation for the children.

Johns J determined that the husband's applications and the wife's response were to be struck out. Consequently, the order appointing an Independent Children's Lawyer was discharged. The court's reasoning and the specific grounds for striking out the applications and discharging the order are not detailed in the provided text.
