Martin & Martin & Anor (No 6)

In *Martin & Martin & Anor (No 6)*, the husband sought interim orders, and a third party responded to this application. The matter came before Cronin J of the Family Court of Australia.

The court was required to determine whether to adjourn the husband's application for interim orders and the third party's response to the trial date. Additionally, the court considered the appropriate course of action regarding a file held by the wife's former solicitors, the costs incurred by the third party, and the ability of the third party to manage their trial affidavit.

Cronin J ordered that the husband's application for interim orders and the third party's response be adjourned to the trial date of 16 March 2015. The court further directed that the file held by the wife's former solicitors, Septimus Jones and Lee, be forthwith returned to the Court and lodged with the subpoena under which it was produced. The costs of the third party, fixed at $3500, were reserved to the trial, and the third party was permitted to uplift and replace their trial affidavit on the court file. The court also certified that it was reasonable to engage counsel to attend, pursuant to Order 19.50 of the Family Law Rules 2004.
