Meekes and Meekes

In *Meekes and Meekes*, heard by Cronin J, the husband had filed a contravention application. The wife had also filed interim applications, and both parties had made applications for final orders.

The court was required to determine whether the husband's contravention application should be struck out, whether the parties' respective interim applications should be dismissed, and how the applications for final orders should proceed.

Cronin J struck out the husband's contravention application. The court dismissed all interim applications made by both parties. The applications for final orders were adjourned to the Registrar to be listed for a final hearing before a judge. The husband was ordered to pay the wife's costs thrown away on that day, fixed at $2650, to be paid within one month.
