In the matter of *SALT & SALT*, Gill J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application for a stay of proceedings. The specific nature of the dispute between the parties, beyond the request for a stay, is not detailed in the provided text.

The court also made orders concerning access to specific transcripts and exhibits held at the Canberra Registry, permitting legal practitioners and the Independent Children’s Lawyer to view them within the Registry area pending further order.
