PRESTON & MAINE

The applicant, Preston, sought orders against the respondent, Maine. The nature of the dispute is not specified in the provided text, but the application was heard and determined by Cronin J.

The court was required to determine whether to grant the orders sought by the applicant in their application filed on 20 December 2012, and also to consider the respondent's response to the initiating application filed on the same date.

Cronin J dismissed the applicant's application in its entirety. Furthermore, the court dismissed the respondent's response to the initiating application, save for any issues relating to costs. The court then set out a detailed timetable and procedure for any party seeking costs arising from these orders, requiring written submissions to be filed and served by specific dates, with a subsequent period for responses, all to be determined in chambers.
