Porto and Porto (No 2)

In the matter of *Porto and Porto (No 2)*, Dessau J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the wife. The dispute concerned an amendment to previous orders made on 17 December 2010, specifically relating to a date within those orders, and the wife's further application filed on 3 November 2011.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to amend the previously made orders as sought by the wife. A secondary issue was the disposition of the wife's application filed in November 2011.

Dessau J ordered that paragraph 1 of the previous orders be amended to substitute "17 November 2012" for "6 December 2011", with the wife's solicitor to arrange service of this amended order. The court also ordered that the husband pay the wife's costs of this application, to be taxed. Otherwise, the wife's application filed on 3 November 2011 was dismissed. The preparation of the order was expedited.
