Mansfield & Mansfield

In *Mansfield & Mansfield*, heard before Judge Brown, the husband sought to appeal an interim order made in family law proceedings filed on 25 July 2016. The wife opposed the appeal.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the husband had established sufficient grounds to warrant an appeal against the interim order. This required the court to consider the nature of interim orders in family law and the threshold for appellate intervention.

Judge Brown dismissed the husband's application, finding that he had failed to demonstrate any error in the original interim order that would justify overturning it on appeal. The court applied the principles governing appeals against interlocutory decisions, emphasizing the need for a strong case to be made before an appeal would be granted.

Consequently, the husband was ordered to pay the wife's costs of the application in the sum of $1,500.00.
