Macarthur and Brogden

In the matter of *Macarthur and Brogden*, heard before Judge Scarlett, the dispute concerned an application to vary an existing court order and the dismissal of a subsequent response. The specific order in question, made on 27 May 2015, was sought to be amended, and a response filed on 1 February 2016 was challenged.

The court was required to determine whether to vary the existing order by altering a specified date, and whether to dismiss the response filed by one of the parties. Additionally, the court needed to consider the future conduct of the substantive application.

Judge Scarlett varied Order (7) made on 27 May 2015 by extending the date from 1 February 2016 to 31 December 2016. The judge also dismissed the Response to an Application in a Case filed on 1 February 2016. For clarity, all other orders from 27 May 2015 were confirmed to remain in effect. The substantive application was subsequently transferred to the docket of Judge Boyle for further mention at a date and time to be determined by Judge Boyle.
