Lovine and Connor

In the matter of *Lovine and Connor*, heard before Cronin J, the husband sought a stay of certain orders made by Justice Mushin on 10 June 2011, specifically concerning the quantum of those orders. The husband also filed applications on 12 August 2011 and 4 July 2011, to which the wife responded on 23 August 2011.

The central legal issues before Cronin J were whether to grant the husband's application for a stay of part of the previous orders and the merits of the various applications and responses filed by both parties. The court was required to determine the validity and enforceability of the existing orders and the subsequent applications made by the husband.

Cronin J refused the husband's application for a stay of the quantum of the orders made by Justice Mushin. Furthermore, the court dismissed the husband's applications filed on 12 August 2011 and 4 July 2011, and the wife's response filed on 23 August 2011, with the exception of any issues relating to costs. The court provided a detailed procedure for any party seeking costs, requiring written submissions by a specified date, with a subsequent period for responses, with all cost applications to be determined in chambers.
