St Claire and St Claire and Ors

In the matter of *St Claire and St Claire and Ors*, Cronin J of the Supreme Court of Victoria considered an application for injunctive relief. The dispute involved Mr G, who sought to enforce a judgment against E’s Pty Ltd, and the applicant, presumably E’s Pty Ltd or an associated party, who sought to restrain this enforcement. The court also dealt with related applications concerning final orders and the filing of affidavit material by the wife, the third party, and the husband.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant an interim injunction to restrain Mr G from enforcing a Supreme Court of Victoria judgment against E’s Pty Ltd. The court was also required to manage the progression of outstanding applications for final orders and to set timelines for the filing and service of evidence by the various parties involved in the proceedings.

Cronin J granted an interim injunction, restraining Mr G from enforcing the judgment against E’s Pty Ltd until 4.00pm on 26 April 2012. The court adjourned the outstanding application for injunctive relief to that date for further submissions. Directions were given for the service of the order on the Sheriff of the Supreme Court of Victoria, and timelines were established for the filing of affidavit material by the wife, the third party, and the husband. The costs of the day were reserved, and the final orders were listed for hearing commencing on 3 July 2012.
