PEDRANA & ROBERTS

In the matter of *Pedrana & Roberts*, heard before Cronin J, the dispute concerned outstanding interim applications and the filing of material by the parties. The orders indicate a proceeding involving a father and a mother, with an Independent Children's Lawyer also participating.

The court was required to determine the timeline for the filing and service of evidence by both the father and the mother, and to address the costs of the proceedings. The court also needed to consider the schedule for payment of those costs and the right of the parties and the Independent Children's Lawyer to review such a schedule.

Cronin J ordered that all outstanding interim applications be adjourned to a specified date. The father was directed to file and serve his material by a particular date, with the mother to file and serve any replying material by a later date. The father was also ordered to pay the mother's costs and the Independent Children's Lawyer's costs by a set time, with a provision for review of the payment schedule if necessary.
