Morrissey and Morrissey (No. 3)

In the matter of *Morrissey and Morrissey (No. 3)*, Cronin J of the Supreme Court of Victoria considered an application concerning ongoing litigation between the parties. The specific dispute before the court involved an application to vary or discharge previous orders made on 28 August 2008, and to confirm the date for a final hearing.

The primary legal issues before Cronin J were whether to discharge paragraph 17 of the previous orders, and whether to extend the time for filing material as stipulated in paragraph 10 of those same orders. The court was also required to confirm the date for the final hearing.

Cronin J's reasoning, as evidenced by the orders made, indicates a decision to discharge paragraph 17 of the August 2008 orders and to extend the filing deadline for material to 9 January 2009. The court also confirmed that the final hearing would proceed as scheduled on 19 January 2009. The supervision order from the Children's Court was marked as an exhibit and retained on the court file.
