O'Malley and O'Malley (No. 3)

In *O'Malley and O'Malley (No. 3)*, Brown J of the Family Court of Australia considered applications made by the husband in proceedings between the husband and wife. The specific nature of the dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, but the orders indicate that the husband was seeking final orders.

The court was required to determine, among other things, the specific final orders sought by the husband and the form in which his evidence would be presented. The court also considered the appropriate allocation of costs for the hearing and whether the attendance of counsel was reasonably required.

Brown J ordered that the husband file and serve a letter detailing the final orders he sought and a statement of financial circumstances by a specified date. Leave was granted for the husband to give oral evidence in chief, limited to thirty minutes, subject to the trial judge's discretion. The further hearing of all outstanding applications was adjourned to a later date, and the wife's costs of the day were reserved. The court also determined that the matter reasonably required the attendance of counsel.
