Strahan and Strahan (No. 3)

In *Strahan and Strahan (No. 3)*, the Honourable Justice Cronin of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered an application by the wife and a response by the husband. The dispute concerned final orders sought by the wife, with the husband seeking to proceed in her absence on an undefended basis.

The court was required to determine whether to dismiss the wife's application filed in November 2017 and her amended application for final orders filed in June 2010. Additionally, the court had to consider whether to grant the husband leave to proceed with his amended response on an undefended basis, and the appropriate course for the husband's amended response filed in March 2017.

Justice Cronin dismissed the wife's application filed in November 2017 and her amended application for final orders filed in June 2010. The court granted the husband leave to proceed in the absence of the wife on an undefended basis. The husband's amended response filed in March 2017 was adjourned to a date to be fixed, with judgment reserved.
