Prantage and Prantage (No 2)

In the matter of *Prantage and Prantage (No 2)*, the wife sought an adjournment of an application for contravention and orders regarding service of documents. The proceedings were before Young J in the Family Court of Australia.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant the wife's application for an adjournment of the contravention proceedings. Related to this was the question of how and to whom certain originating documents and affidavits should be served. The court also considered the reservation of costs for counsel and the Independent Children's Lawyer.

Young J ordered that the contravention application be adjourned for further hearing to the Judicial Duty List on 5 September 2011. The court further ordered that the solicitor for the wife personally serve sealed copies of the contravention application and supporting affidavits upon the husband and his solicitors. The reasons for judgment and a transcript of the proceedings were to be transcribed and made available to all parties. The costs of counsel for the wife and the Independent Children's Lawyer were reserved.
