In the matter of *Matahoa and Rihakira*, heard before Cronin J, the proceedings concerned an application relating to family law matters. The specific nature of the dispute between the parties, identified as the father and the mother, is not detailed in the provided text, beyond the fact that orders were being made and served.

The court was required to determine the appropriate procedural steps to be taken in the ongoing proceedings. This included setting a date for the next appearance, extending existing orders, and establishing the method and recipients of service for court documents. The court also considered the urgency of the matter, necessitating an expedited process.

Cronin J ordered that all proceedings be adjourned to a specific date and time in the Senior Registrars list. Existing orders were extended until a later date. Crucially, the father was directed to forthwith serve a copy of the current orders and prior orders made by Justice Rose upon the mother, specifying two addresses for service, one in Victoria, Australia, and another in Auckland, New Zealand. Service was to be effected by Express Post, and the order was to be expedited. The court also directed that its reasons for judgment be transcribed and placed on the court file.
