AINSWORTH & YUEN (No.3)

In the matter of *Ainsworth & Yuen (No.3)*, Judge Coates of the Family Court of Australia considered an application filed on 25 September 2020. The nature of the dispute involved parenting matters, specifically in the context of an appeal and a related stay application.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether to grant a stay of proceedings in relation to an appeal that had been filed. This required the Court to consider the merits of the appeal and the grounds upon which a stay might be granted.

Judge Coates dismissed the application. While the specific reasoning is not detailed in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the Court was not satisfied that the criteria for granting a stay of the appeal were met. The Court also reserved the costs of the Independent Children’s Lawyer for the proceedings of that day.
