Roberts and Inkster (No 2)

In the matter of *Roberts and Inkster (No 2)*, Young J considered applications brought by the parties in a dispute. The specific nature of the underlying dispute is not detailed, but the proceedings involved applications that required determination by the court.

The primary legal issue before the court was the management and progression of the extant applications. This included determining how these applications should be listed for further hearing, whether personal attendance of one party was necessary, and the preparation and submission of legal arguments. The court also had to consider the costs associated with the proceedings on that day and the service of court orders.

Young J ordered that all extant applications be adjourned for listing as a defended matter before him on 19 March 2010. The husband was excused from personal attendance at this further hearing, provided he was represented by his solicitor. The solicitor for the husband was directed to prepare and serve a summary of argument by 17 March 2010. The court also ordered that the extempore reasons for judgment be transcribed and made available to the parties urgently. Furthermore, the husband's costs for his solicitor's representation for a period of three hours on that day were reserved for submission at the adjourned hearing. Finally, the husband's solicitors were ordered to serve a sealed copy of the order on the wife and file an affidavit of service prior to the adjourned hearing.
