Dunne v Lloyd [2025] WASCA 119
02/09/2025
Appeals in Western Australia – 11/08/2025
The creation of the then Family Court by the passing of the Family Law Act, 1975, required each of the states to refer their governance of ‘matrimonial causes’ to the Federal Government. The Western Australia state government was not so keen on that idea and retained matrimonial causes within state jurisdiction. Accordingly, that Court operates as the Family Court of Western Australia (‘FCWA’) and with its own legislation the Family Court Act 1997 (FCA).
