CONCLUSION

111 For those reasons I make a declaration that the marriage between the applicant and the respondent in late December 2023 at a venue in the state of New South Wales is void.

112 I grant a decree of nullity in relation to that marriage.

113 In respect of the costs order sought in paragraph two of the applicant’s initiating application dated 8 May 2024 I order –

(a) the applicant must file and serve any affidavit and submissions in support of her costs application by 4.00pm on 14 November 2024;

(b) the respondent must file and serve any affidavit and submissions in opposition to the applicant’s application for costs by 4.00pm on 28 November 2024; and

(c) the question of costs will be determined thereafter on the papers.

I certify that the preceding one hundred and thirteen (113) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the reasons for judgment of the Honourable Justice Wilson.
