Wetherby and Stott

In the matter of Wetherby and Stott, Johns J of the Supreme Court of Western Australia was required to determine applications for final orders. The precise nature of the dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text.

The central legal issue before the Court was the appropriate procedural step to advance the extant applications for final orders towards a final hearing. This involved considering how best to manage the court's docket to ensure the matter could be listed for final determination as soon as reasonably practicable.

Johns J ordered that all extant applications for final orders be allocated to a judicial docket. This allocation was for the specific purpose of listing the matter for final hearing at the earliest reasonably practicable time. The Court noted that the formal entry of this order in the Court's records would govern its precise form.
