Singleton and Singleton

The parties in this matter were the applicant wife and the respondent husband. The dispute concerned orders to be made in family law proceedings. The decision was made by Cronin J of the Family Court of Australia.

The court was required to determine the terms of the final orders to be made in the proceedings, which were to be made by consent of both parties.

The court made orders in accordance with minutes of proposed orders that had been agreed upon by the parties and marked as Exhibit "A". These minutes were to be sealed and attached to the court's record. The solicitor for the applicant wife was directed to engross these minutes and provide them to the Associate within seven days. The court also ordered that its reasons for judgment be transcribed and placed on the court file, and that a previously scheduled conciliation conference for 29 August 2008 be vacated.
