Zong & Lim (No 5)

In *Zong & Lim (No 5)*, Ms Zong was the applicant and Mr Lim was the respondent before Judge Coates of the Family Court of Australia. The dispute concerned an application filed on 19 April 2021.

The central legal issue before the court was the application of section 121 of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), which prohibits the publication of proceedings that identify individuals involved in family law matters, except in narrowly defined circumstances.

Judge Coates dismissed the application filed on 19 April 2021. The court's reasoning, as indicated by the order and the accompanying note, was grounded in the strict prohibition against publishing identifying information within family law proceedings as stipulated by section 121 of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).
