SORA and SORA & Ors

In the matter of *SORA and SORA & Ors*, Justice Cronin of the Family Court of Australia considered applications made by the husband and the wife. The husband filed an application on 16 April 2010, and the wife filed a response on 10 May 2010.

The court was required to determine the disposition of these applications and to address the issue of costs. Additionally, the wife sought to amend her application in final orders, which required the court's consideration.

Justice Cronin dismissed the husband's application and the wife's response, reserving the issue of costs. The court ordered that any applications for costs be filed and served by specific dates, with replies to follow, and that these submissions would be determined in chambers. The wife was permitted to file and serve an amended application reflecting a request made at the hearing. The wife's application, the husband's response, the second respondents' response, and the husband's reply were to await a final hearing before a judge on a date to be fixed by the registrar. The court certified that the matter reasonably required the attendance of counsel, including senior counsel.
