Mohan and Modi

In the matter of *Mohan and Modi*, Carew J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the father, filed on 25 August 2015. The precise nature of the dispute between the parties is not detailed, but the court's orders indicate it involved applications concerning children.

The central legal issue before the court was whether to grant a stay of the father's initiating application and remove all related applications from the hearing list. This suggests the court was asked to consider whether the proceedings should be paused or halted entirely.

Carew J ordered that the father's initiating application be stayed, and that all applications be removed from the list of cases awaiting a hearing. The court's reasoning for these orders is not provided in the extract, but the outcome indicates a decision to halt the progression of the proceedings at that time.
