LOOMIS & THURSTON

In the matter of *Loomis & Thurston*, Justice Forrest of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered applications made by both the husband and the wife concerning property adjustment and child support matters. The husband sought various orders, including an injunction, while the wife also filed applications in response.

The court was required to determine the husband's application for an injunction, the wife's application for contravention, and the parties' respective applications for further orders relating to property adjustment. Additionally, the court considered the husband's request for leave to use material obtained via subpoena in separate child support proceedings.

Justice Forrest dismissed the husband's application for an injunction. The court adjourned the further hearing of the parties' applications for property adjustment orders and the wife's application for contravention to specific dates in April 2016. Crucially, leave was granted to the husband to use subpoenaed material in child support appeal proceedings before the Federal Circuit Court and subsequent hearings in those matters.
