Starkey and Starkey and Anor (No. 3)

In *Starkey and Starkey and Anor (No. 3)*, Justice Murphy of the Family Court of Australia considered a dispute between a husband and wife, with the husband represented by case guardians. The proceedings involved an application filed by the husband on 16 June 2009.

The court was required to determine the appropriate course of action regarding the husband's application and to make orders concerning the costs associated with that application. Additionally, the court considered whether the matter warranted the attendance of counsel.

Justice Murphy ordered that the further hearing of the matter be adjourned to a specific date and time. The court also ordered the wife to pay the husband's costs of and incidental to his application, with these costs to be agreed or taxed. Finally, the court determined that the matter was one proper for the attendance of counsel, pursuant to Rule 19.50 of the *Family Law Rules 2004*.
