Marshall and Castles

In the matter of *Marshall and Castles*, heard by Young J, the dispute concerned an application made by the husband under section 79A of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). The specific nature of the dispute, beyond the application under s 79A, is not detailed in the provided text.

The court was required to determine the procedural steps and timeline for the husband's application and the wife's response, including the filing and service of relevant documents. Additionally, the court needed to decide on the future allocation of the proceedings for hearings and directions, and the appropriate judicial officer to hear the matter. The court also had to consider the wife's costs and whether the matter reasonably required the attendance of counsel.

Young J ordered, by consent of the parties, that the husband file and serve his application and supporting affidavits by 29 October 2012, and the wife file and serve her response and supporting affidavits by 19 November 2012. The proceedings were to be transferred for all future hearings and directions to Registrar Field, with a request that the matter be allocated to a Judge of the Melbourne Registry, other than Young J. The extempore reasons for judgment were to be transcribed and made available to the parties. The wife's costs related to her representation on 11 July 2012 and the current day, as well as the costs of preparing her initiating application and supporting affidavits, were reserved for consideration by the appointed trial judge. The court certified that the matter reasonably required the attendance of counsel for both parties.
