MACKRELL & MACKRELL

In *Mackrell & Mackrell*, the wife sought an extension of time to bring an application for adjustment of property orders under section 44(3) of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). The application was heard by Judge Harland.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the wife had established sufficient grounds to warrant an extension of time for her property adjustment application, given that the statutory time limit had expired. This required the court to consider the criteria for granting such an extension under the Act.

Judge Harland dismissed the wife's application. The reasoning for this decision is not detailed in the provided text, but the outcome indicates that the court was not satisfied that the wife had met the necessary threshold to justify extending the time limit for her property adjustment claim.

Consequently, the court ordered that the wife's application for an extension of time be dismissed.
