Malkmus and Ford

The matter of *Malkmus and Ford* concerned an application for consent orders filed by the parties on 26 October 2015, which was heard by Foster J. The precise nature of the dispute leading to this application is not detailed, but the outcome indicates a disagreement or failure to meet the necessary criteria for the court to approve the proposed consent orders.

The central legal issue before the court was whether to grant the consent orders as presented by the parties. This required the court to assess if the proposed orders were appropriate and legally sound, and if the parties had met any prerequisites for their approval.

Foster J dismissed the application for consent orders. While the reasons for dismissal are not elaborated upon in the provided text, the court's decision signifies that the proposed orders did not satisfy the legal requirements or the court's satisfaction for approval at that time.
