Ogilvy and Ogilvy

In the matter of *Ogilvy and Ogilvy*, heard before Forrest J, the applicant, Ms Ogilvy, sought the appointment of a Case Guardian. The proceedings concerned family law matters, and the application for a Case Guardian was made pursuant to rule 6.10 of the *Family Law Rules 2004*.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to appoint a Case Guardian for the applicant, Ms Ogilvy, and to determine the responsibility for the costs and expenses associated with this appointment. The court was also required to set a date for the trial of the substantive family law dispute.

By consent of the parties, Forrest J ordered that Mr C be appointed as Case Guardian for Ms Ogilvy. Pursuant to rule 6.14 of the *Family Law Rules 2004*, the costs and expenses of Mr C, including the costs of the application, were to be paid by the applicant. The court further ordered that the matter be listed for trial before Justice Forrest for two days, commencing on Monday, 19 August 2019.
