Millar and Oakley (No 2)

In *Millar and Oakley (No 2)*, Cronin J of the Family Court of Australia considered applications by the parties concerning contempt of court proceedings. The wife had filed an application alleging contempt by the husband, while the husband had also filed applications, including one for an adjournment of the contempt proceedings.

The court was required to determine whether the husband was in contempt of court, and if so, to consider the appropriate course of action, including sentencing. Additionally, the court had to rule on the husband's application for an adjournment of the contempt proceedings and consider other related applications filed by the parties.

Cronin J found the respondent husband guilty of contempt of court. Consequently, the husband's application for an adjournment of the contempt application was refused. The wife's application for contempt was adjourned for sentencing, with the matter scheduled for 9.00 am on 12 February 2018. Certain other applications filed by the parties were dismissed.
