Section 13F — Family Law Act 1975: Court may make orders in relation to family law arbitration

(1) A person who is a party to, or an arbitrator of, family law arbitration may apply to a court that has jurisdiction under this Act for orders under subsection (3) in relation to the arbitration. (2) An application under subsection (1) may be made: (a) whether the arbitration was ordered under subsection 13E(1) or not; and (b) at any time before an award is made in the arbitration. (3) The court may, on application under subsection (1), make any orders the court considers appropriate: (a) to facilitate the effective conduct of family law arbitration; or (b) if the court is satisfied that a change in circumstances means that it is no longer appropriate for the proceedings or matter to be dealt with by arbitration—to terminate the arbitration.
