Morris & Morris

The parties in this matter were Morris & Morris, with the dispute concerning orders made in family law proceedings. The decision was made by Cronin J.

The court was required to determine the terms of consent orders to be made between the parties, and to ensure that these orders complied with relevant legislative provisions concerning the particulars of obligations, consequences of contravention, and assistance for compliance.

Cronin J made orders by consent in accordance with minutes of proposed orders marked as Exhibit "A". The court directed that these minutes be sealed and attached to the orders, and remain on the court file. The solicitor for the father was directed to engross the minutes and deliver them electronically to the Associate within seven days. Furthermore, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the relevant legislation, the court ordered that particulars of the obligations created by the orders, the consequences of contravention, and details of assistance available for compliance be set out in a Fact Sheet attached to the orders, and that these particulars be included within the orders themselves.
