CaseChat Overview and Summary
In *Todd and Todd (No 2)*, Bennett J of the Family Court of Australia considered an enforcement application by the husband and the wife's response to that application. The dispute concerned the enforcement of existing orders made on 2 August 2016.
The primary legal issue before the court was whether the husband's enforcement application should be granted, and consequently, how the wife's response should be treated. The court was required to determine the validity and enforceability of the husband's claims in light of the wife's submissions.
Bennett J dismissed the husband's enforcement application. The court reasoned that the husband had failed to establish grounds for enforcement, leading to the dismissal of his application. The wife was ordered to pay the husband's costs of the proceedings, fixed at $6,000, to be deducted from monies the husband was otherwise required to pay the wife under the earlier order of 2 August 2016.
