Sharpe and Johnson

In the matter of *Sharpe and Johnson*, heard before Cronin J, the parties presented a dispute for resolution. The specific nature of the dispute is not detailed in the provided text, however, the orders indicate a family law context, likely concerning property settlement or parenting arrangements, given the reference to sections of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) and the mention of a "wife".

The court was required to make orders pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). These sections relate to the provision of information to parties regarding the obligations and consequences of court orders, and the availability of assistance for compliance. The court's primary task was to ensure that the orders made were accompanied by the necessary factual information as prescribed by these legislative provisions.

Cronin J made orders by consent of the parties, with the exception of specific paragraphs within the minutes of proposed orders which were to be treated as orders of the Court. The court directed that the solicitor for the wife was responsible for engrossing these minutes and delivering them to the Associate within seven days. Crucially, the court ordered that the particulars of the obligations created by these orders, the consequences of contravention, and details of available assistance were to be set out in an attached Fact Sheet, thereby incorporating this information into the orders themselves as required by the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).
