Thpal and Xing (No. 2)

In *Thpal and Xing (No. 2)*, Brown J of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia considered applications made by the parties concerning their dispute. The specific nature of the dispute is not detailed, but the orders indicate that the parties have reached a resolution.

The court was required to determine the terms of the final orders to be made by consent, and to dismiss any outstanding applications. The court also needed to consider the appropriate allocation of costs, as indicated by the direction that the matter reasonably required the attendance of counsel.

Brown J made orders by consent in accordance with Minutes of Proposed Orders that were sealed and attached to the court file. These orders resulted in the dismissal of all extant applications and the removal of the matter from the list of matters awaiting finalisation. The court also directed that a Family Law Courts Fact Sheet, detailing the obligations created by the orders and the consequences of contravention, be annexed to the orders, pursuant to sections 62B and 65DA(2) of the *Family Law Act 1975*. Finally, the court ordered that the matter reasonably required the attendance of counsel, pursuant to Rule 19.50 of the *Family Law Rules 2004*.
