ALLINSON & EADIE

In the matter of *Allinson & Eadie*, heard by Judge Boyle, the dispute concerned the school enrolment of a child, X, born in 2015, for the school year commencing in 2021. The proceedings involved applications by both the father and the mother regarding this issue.

The central legal issue before the court was to determine the appropriate school for the child X and to make orders to give effect to that decision, considering the parents' differing positions. The court was also required to consider the father's application filed on 15 November 2020 and the mother's application for costs.

Judge Boyle ordered that the child X be enrolled at B School in Suburb C for the 2021 school year. To ensure compliance, the court stipulated that if the father failed to sign necessary documents, a Registrar of the Federal Circuit Court was empowered to sign them on his behalf, pursuant to section 106A of the *Family Law Act 1975*. The father's application was dismissed, and the mother's costs application was also dismissed. Finally, the parties were directed to attend mediation at Relationships Australia to address ongoing communication issues concerning the child's sporting activities, medical care, and time spent with each parent.
