SCVG and KLD (No 2)

In *SCVG and KLD (No 2)*, the applicant, Mr SCVG, sought to set aside orders made by Judge Scarlett of the Federal Circuit Court on 30 April 2015, which related to an appeal from the Social Security Appeals Tribunal. The respondent was KLD. The application was heard by Gill J in the Family Court of Australia.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the Family Court of Australia possessed the jurisdiction to entertain Mr SCVG's application to set aside the previous Federal Circuit Court orders on the grounds of fraud.

Gill J determined that the Family Court of Australia did indeed have the requisite jurisdiction to hear and determine the application to set aside the orders made by Judge Scarlett by reason of fraud. The court's decision affirmed its authority to address such applications within its established jurisdiction.
