Sheridan and Sheridan (No. 4)

In the matter of *Sheridan and Sheridan (No. 4)*, Cronin J considered applications made by both the husband and wife. The specific nature of the dispute is not fully detailed in the provided text, but it involved a contravention application by the husband and other applications by both parties concerning their child, H.

The court was required to determine several matters, including the husband's contravention application, which was ultimately withdrawn. The court also had to consider the applications of both parties and make orders regarding the residence of H and the timing of further hearings. A significant issue was the need to address asserted drug use and trafficking by the husband, leading to an order for a subpoena to the police.

Cronin J's reasoning led to the withdrawal of the husband's contravention application. The court adjourned the remaining applications for further hearing, indicating that the matters were not yet fully resolved. Crucially, the court made interim orders for H's residence with the wife and suspended the time between the husband and H. The court also granted the wife leave to issue a subpoena to the police for oral evidence concerning the husband's alleged drug-related activities, to be presented at the adjourned hearing.

The orders made by Cronin J included the withdrawal of the husband's contravention application, the adjournment of other applications for further hearing on 18 July 2013, the suspension of time between the husband and H until that date, and an order for H to reside with the wife until further order. The court also permitted the wife to issue a subpoena to the police for oral evidence.
