In this Aston Legal Group case, our clients were the respondents in Personal Safety Intervention Order applications brought in the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria at Sunshine. The matter involved allegations of stalking and other prohibited behaviour.
During the hearing, Aston's Principal Lawyer cross-examined the applicant for approximately two hours, including on inconsistencies in her evidence and further and better particulars.
The Court ultimately:
• Refused to grant Final Orders against the respondent husband
• Refused to grant a Final Order against the respondent wife
• Reinstated a Final Order in favour of the respondent wife and her children
• Made a costs order in favour of the respondent husband

In this Aston Legal Group case, our client had already obtained a Divorce Order. His former wife subsequently applied for the Order to be rescinded, arguing that the parties had not genuinely been separated for the required 12 months.
The matter proceeded to a contested hearing, with evidence addressing their living arrangements, financial relationship, sexual relationship and how they presented publicly.
Following the evidence and submissions, the Court was satisfied that the parties had been living separately and apart for the required period.
The application was dismissed and the original Divorce Order remained in place.
