TRUSS & TRUSS

In the matter of *Truss & Truss*, Cronin J of the Family Court of Australia considered a dispute between a husband and wife concerning financial matters. The specific details of the dispute are not elaborated upon in the provided text, but the outcome indicates a resolution was reached through proposed orders.

The primary legal issue before the court was to determine the final orders to be made in relation to the parties' financial settlement. This involved the court's consideration and approval of minutes of proposed orders that had been agreed upon by the husband and wife.

Cronin J's reasoning involved the formalisation of the parties' agreement. By ordering that the minutes of proposed orders be sealed and attached to the court's record, the court gave legal effect to the terms agreed between the husband and wife. This signifies the court's role in approving and enforcing mediated or negotiated settlements in family law matters.

The court ordered that the husband pay the wife's costs fixed at $17,000, with the payment terms to be in accordance with the attached minutes.
