Neame & Neame

In the matter of *Neame & Neame*, Judge Myers of the Family Court of Australia reviewed a decision made by Registrar Boldiston. The dispute concerned the Respondent Mother's application for interim orders, which she sought to file on short notice and have urgently listed for hearing.

The central legal issues before the Court were whether the Registrar erred in refusing to grant leave to file the application on short notice and whether the Registrar erred in refusing to urgently list the matter for hearing.

Judge Myers reasoned that the Registrar's refusal to grant leave to file on short notice and to urgently list the matter was an error. The Court found that the circumstances warranted the urgent listing of the application. Consequently, the Court reviewed the Registrar's decision and ordered that the interim orders sought by the Respondent Mother be listed for hearing on the morning of 2 July 2021.
