Millhouse and Husserl

In the matter of *Millhouse and Husserl*, heard before Hannam J, the proceedings concerned an application for the Secretary of the NSW Department of Family and Community Services to intervene. The precise nature of the underlying dispute between Millhouse and Husserl is not detailed in the provided text, but the application for intervention suggests it involves matters within the jurisdiction of the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth).

The central legal issue before the Court was whether to grant leave for the Secretary of the NSW Department of Family and Community Services to intervene in the proceedings and to inspect and copy documents on the court file. This required the Court to consider the provisions of Section 91B of the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) and Rule 24.13 of the Family Law Rules 2004 (Cth).

Hannam J ordered that the Secretary of the NSW Department of Family and Community Services be requested to intervene in the proceedings pursuant to Section 91B of the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth). The Court further ordered that, should the Secretary intervene, a Notice of Intervention was to be filed and served as soon as practicable. Additionally, pursuant to Rule 24.13 of the Family Law Rules 2004 (Cth), leave was granted to the Secretary, or their delegate, to inspect and copy any documents forming part of the court record.
