ALEXANDER & INGRAM

In the matter of *Alexander & Ingram*, heard before Judge Scarlett, the applicant sought to prosecute proceedings for contravention of parenting orders. The respondent applied for summary dismissal of these proceedings.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the applicant had a reasonable prospect of successfully prosecuting the contravention proceedings, thereby determining the application for summary dismissal. The court was also required to consider the matter of costs.

Judge Scarlett dismissed the application for contravention, finding that there was no reasonable prospect of successfully prosecuting the proceedings. The court ordered that the applicant file and serve written submissions within fourteen days, explaining why he should not be required to pay the respondent's costs, which were fixed at $5,676.61.
