Tilson and Tilson

In *Tilson and Tilson*, the parties brought applications for final orders before Macmillan J of the Family Court of Australia. The precise nature of the dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, but it involved applications for final resolution.

The central legal issue before the court was the efficient and timely progression of the parties' applications towards a final hearing. Macmillan J was required to determine the appropriate procedural steps to ensure the matter could be listed for final determination as soon as reasonably practicable.

Macmillan J reasoned that the most effective way to achieve this was to allocate all extant applications for final orders to a judicial docket. This procedural step was intended to facilitate the listing of the matter for final hearing without undue delay. The court applied principles of case management aimed at ensuring the expeditious resolution of family law proceedings.

The court ordered that all extant applications for final orders be allocated to a judicial docket for the purposes of listing the matter for final hearing as soon as is reasonably practicable. The final form of this order was subject to its entry in the Court’s records.
