Walker and Walker

In the matter of *Walker and Walker*, heard by Cronin J, the applicant wife sought to discharge previous orders made on 22 November 2004 concerning the children T and D. The application also sought leave to proceed in the husband's absence and for the Court to notify the Australian Federal Police of the new orders.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether to discharge the existing orders relating to the children, particularly given apparent inaccuracies in the previous orders concerning D's date of birth and surname. The Court was also required to consider the appropriate procedural steps, including notification to the Australian Federal Police and the dismissal of further proceedings.

Cronin J ordered the discharge of paragraphs 1 and 2 of the November 2004 orders concerning the children T and D, noting discrepancies in the record regarding D's date of birth and surname. The Court further ordered notification of these discharge orders to the Australian Federal Police and granted the applicant wife leave to proceed in the husband's absence. The application filed on 23 June 2008 was otherwise dismissed, and all related proceedings were removed from the hearing list.
