MCGALLAHAN & MCGALLAHAN

In *McGallahan & McGallahan*, Kent J of the Federal Court of Australia considered an application to discharge injunctions previously imposed by Federal Magistrate Cassidy on 10 August 2012. The precise nature of the underlying dispute between the parties, McGallahan and McGallahan, is not detailed in the provided text, beyond the fact that it led to the imposition of these injunctions.

The central legal issue before Kent J was whether the injunctions granted by Federal Magistrate Cassidy should remain in force or be discharged. This required an assessment of the continued necessity or appropriateness of the injunctive relief in light of the circumstances at the time of the hearing before Kent J.

Kent J determined that the injunctions were no longer warranted and ordered their discharge. While the specific reasons for this decision are not elaborated upon in the provided extract, the outcome indicates that the legal threshold for maintaining the injunctions had not been met. The court's final order was to discharge the injunctions imposed by paragraph 2 of the Federal Magistrate's orders of 10 August 2012.
