Slattery and Mitra

In the Federal Circuit Court, Judge Willis considered an application by the wife, Slattery, against the husband, Mitra. The dispute concerned various orders sought by the wife in an application filed on 22 July 2013.

The court was required to determine whether to grant certain orders sought by the wife, specifically those numbered 1, 2, and 4 in her application. Additionally, the court addressed the issue of costs associated with the proceedings and the potential for further oral submissions regarding the wife's third requested order.

Judge Willis dismissed the wife's applications for orders 1, 2, and 4. The court also made detailed provisions for the resolution of costs, requiring written submissions from the party seeking costs by 28 March 2014, with a reply from the respondent due by 4 April 2014. The court indicated that costs would be decided on the papers unless either party requested oral submissions by 7 April 2014. Regarding the wife's third order, the court noted it had not been agitated at the interim hearing and would be adjourned to the next mention date if the wife intended to pursue it.
