Monty and Villamont

In the matter of *Monty and Villamont*, heard by O'Reilly J, the dispute concerned the validity of a marriage. The initiating application was filed on 4 August 2010, and an affidavit in support was filed by leave on the day of the hearing.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the marriage between Mr Monty and Ms Villamont, solemnised in October 2007, should be declared void.

O'Reilly J determined that the marriage was void. The court dispensed with service of the initiating application and the supporting affidavit on the wife. The final orders declared the marriage void.
