Pinkett and Pinkett

In *Pinkett and Pinkett*, the wife sought leave to commence property proceedings out of time. The court was required to determine whether to grant this leave.

The court's reasoning and the legal principles applied are not fully detailed in the provided text, as the focus is on the procedural directions issued. However, the granting of leave indicates that the court was satisfied that the wife met the necessary threshold to proceed with her property adjustment claims despite the delay.

The court made several orders, including granting the wife leave to commence property proceedings out of time. The matter was listed for a mention on 17 April 2018, following a Conciliation Conference scheduled for 28 March 2018.
