State Central Authority and Tirzsa

The matter before Guest J concerned applications brought by the State Central Authority and Tirzsa. The precise nature of the dispute is not detailed, but the notation indicates it involved international enquiries in Croatia and the consideration of outstanding issues by the parties.

The court was required to determine the appropriate course of action regarding the extant applications, specifically whether to grant an adjournment and, if so, for what purpose. The court also considered whether the matter reasonably required the attendance of Counsel.

Guest J ordered that all extant applications be adjourned for mention only on 5 March 2008. This adjournment was granted to allow the State Central Authority to conduct further enquiries in Croatia and for the parties to consider a resolution of the outstanding issues. The court also made a finding that the matter reasonably required the attendance of Counsel, pursuant to rule 19.50 of the Family Law Rules 2004.
