Robinson and Shelter (No 4)

In the matter of *Robinson and Shelter (No 4)*, Young J of the Supreme Court of New South Wales was required to determine applications made by the wife in ongoing family law proceedings. The specific dispute concerned the management and listing of various applications filed by the wife, some of which were to be adjourned for further hearing and case management, while another was to be removed from a particular listing and relisted.

The court was tasked with making orders regarding the procedural progression of these applications. This involved determining which applications should be adjourned for case management and further hearing before the judge, and which application should be removed from a scheduled date and relisted before a Registrar. The court also needed to make directions concerning the service of its orders and reasons for judgment.

Young J ordered that the wife's applications filed on 15 September 2006 and 24 May 2010 be adjourned for case management and further hearing before him on 2 August 2010. The wife's application filed on 17 December 2009 was to be removed from the listing on 2 August 2010 and relisted for 12 August 2010 before Registrar Lethbridge. Directions were also made for the wife's solicitors to serve a sealed copy of the order and extempore reasons for judgment on the husband personally and his immigration lawyers, and for the reasons to be transcribed and made available to the parties.
