Snapiri and Cresswell

In the matter of Snapiri and Cresswell, the wife filed an application on 14 December 2011, and the husband filed an amended response on 4 February 2012. The proceedings were before Bennett J.

The court was required to determine the status of pending applications and the future conduct of the proceedings.

Bennett J noted that the matter was listed for hearing on 1 May 2012. Leave was granted to the husband to apply for the matter to be dealt with on an unopposed basis on that date. The court directed that the husband's solicitors provide a copy of the order and reasons for decision to the parties' adult son, Mr Snapiri, and instruct him to bring these documents to the attention of his mother, the wife. The order and reasons were also to be sent to the wife by prepaid post and email. The costs of the husband for the day were reserved.
