Russell and Withers & Anor (No 2)

In the matter of *Russell and Withers & Anor (No 2)*, Gill J of the Supreme Court of Victoria considered an application concerning previous orders made in the proceeding. The dispute involved the discharge of certain orders previously made by the Court on 7 May 2020 and 12 March 2020.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether to discharge the existing orders. This required the Court to assess the appropriateness of maintaining or setting aside those prior directions and dispositions.

Gill J reasoned that the existing orders were no longer suitable for the progression of the case and therefore ordered their discharge. The Court then adjourned the proceedings to allow for an interim disposition and to make further directions for the trial. The matter was listed for 11 am on Friday 24 July 2020.
