Salmon and Marin

This matter came before O'Reilly J concerning an application filed by the mother on 13 October 2010. The proceedings involved disputes between the mother and the father, with the court making orders regarding the progression of the case.

The court was required to determine various procedural matters to ensure the efficient conduct of the litigation. These included the enlargement of time for filing material, the appointment of a single expert valuer, and the attendance of the mother for a psychiatric assessment. The court also considered the consequences of non-compliance with its orders.

O'Reilly J ordered that the mother's application be listed for further hearing on 14 March 2011. Time for filing material was enlarged to 14 January 2011. The court stipulated that if the mother did not nominate a registered valuer by 14 December 2010, both parties would be permitted to rely on their own valuation evidence at trial. The mother was ordered to attend a psychiatric assessment on 17 January 2011. The court warned that failure to comply with these orders could result in the dismissal of a party's case or the proceedings being conducted as undefended. The matter was confirmed for trial before O'Reilly J for 10 days commencing 14 March 2011.
