Templeton and Champion

In the matter of Templeton and Champion, heard by Judge Halligan, the court considered an application by Ms O. The precise nature of the dispute is not fully detailed, but it involved issues relating to a change of name and overseas travel, with a final hearing anticipated.

The court was required to determine the appropriate orders to be made in relation to the application by Ms O, and to set a timetable for the further conduct of the proceedings leading to a final hearing. This included considerations for the filing of further evidence and the listing of the matter for hearing.

Judge Halligan dismissed Ms O's application, indicating that the proceedings would be listed for a final hearing once dates became available. The court directed both parties to file and serve all further affidavit evidence and lists of documents they intended to rely upon at least 21 days prior to the hearing, stipulating that no affidavit filed outside this timeframe would be permitted. The estimated hearing time was set at two days.
