Wiles and Paglia

In the matter of *Wiles and Paglia*, Johns J of the Supreme Court of Western Australia was required to determine applications for final orders.

The central legal issue before the Court was the appropriate procedural step to take concerning extant applications for final orders, specifically how to progress these matters towards a final hearing in a timely manner.

Johns J reasoned that the most efficient and practical approach was to allocate all such applications to a judicial docket. This would facilitate the listing of the matters for final hearing as soon as reasonably practicable, thereby ensuring the expeditious resolution of the disputes.

The Court ordered that all extant applications for final orders be allocated to a judicial docket for the purposes of listing the matter for final hearing as soon as is reasonably practicable.
