Ricci and Jones and Ors

In the matter of *Ricci and Jones and Ors*, heard by Cronin J, the applicant sought interim orders against the second and third respondents. The specific nature of the dispute and the underlying proceedings are not detailed in the provided text, but the application for interim relief was ultimately dismissed.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant the interim orders sought by the applicant. This required the court to consider the merits of the application in light of the relevant legal principles governing the grant of interim relief in family law proceedings.

Cronin J dismissed the application for interim orders. While the specific reasoning for this dismissal is not elaborated upon in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the applicant failed to satisfy the necessary legal threshold for the grant of such orders. The court also made orders regarding costs, with the applicant to pay the costs of the second and third respondents by agreement or assessment. Further, the court certified that it was reasonable to engage counsel and adjourned the initiating proceedings to a case assessment conference.
