CaseChat Overview and Summary
In *Whitcomb and Whitcomb (No.2)*, Judge Harman of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered an application concerning proceedings that had been listed for hearing. The specific nature of the dispute between the parties, the Whitcombs, is not detailed in the provided text, but the court's orders indicate a transfer of the proceedings.
The central legal issue before the court was the appropriate forum for the continuation of the proceedings. This involved determining whether the existing listings before the Federal Circuit Court should be vacated and the matter transferred to a different registry.
Judge Harman ordered that the proceedings be transferred to the Brisbane Registry of the Federal Circuit Court. The matter was then listed for directions before Judge Jarrett on 6 November 2020. Consequently, all prior listings of the proceedings before Judge Harman on 10 September 2020 and Judge Dunkley on 30 September 2020 were vacated.
