ROET & ROET

In the matter of ROET & ROET, Young J of the Supreme Court of New South Wales considered an application brought by the Wife. The precise nature of the dispute is not detailed, but the orders indicate it involved an Initiating Application filed by the Wife on 24 February 2010.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the Wife's Initiating Application should be dismissed. Relatedly, the court was required to determine the status of the Wife's legal representation and the appropriate steps for her former solicitors to formally cease acting on her behalf.

Young J ordered that the Wife's Initiating Application be dismissed. Furthermore, the court directed the Wife's former solicitors, Moores Legal, to file a Notice of Ceasing to Act by a specified date and time. The court also ordered that its extempore reasons for judgment be transcribed and provided to both the Wife and her former solicitors.
