Roberts and Inkster (No 3)

In *Roberts and Inkster (No 3)*, Young J of the Family Court of Australia was required to determine the disposition of applications and orders in a matrimonial cause. The proceedings involved a wife's initiating application filed on 6 April 2009 and a husband's response filed on 25 June 2009, alongside previous injunctive orders made by consent on 8 April 2009.

The central legal issue before the court was whether to dismiss all extant applications, both interim and final, and to discharge all previous orders, including the consent injunctive orders. The court also had to consider the matter of costs and the return of subpoenaed documents.

Young J ordered the dismissal of all extant applications, including the wife's initiating application and the husband's response. Furthermore, all previous orders of the Court, specifically including the injunctive orders made by consent on 8 April 2009, were discharged. The court made no order as to costs, discharging any previous order for reserved costs. Additionally, all documents that had been subpoenaed to the Court were to be forthwith returned by the Subpoenas Clerk to their original producers.
