Bart and Bart and Ors

The case of *Bart and Bart and Ors* concerned parenting orders made by Barry J. The dispute involved the father and his children, M and P. The court's orders addressed communication between the father and the children, and the obligations and consequences associated with these orders.

The primary legal issues before the court were the terms of the parenting orders, specifically the suspension of previous orders concerning the father and child M, the restrictions on the father's communication with child P, and the limitations on the father's communication with child M. The court also considered the provision of information regarding the obligations and consequences of contravening these orders, as mandated by sections 62B and 65DA(2) of the relevant legislation.

Barry J made several orders, suspending all previous orders concerning the father and child M. The father was prohibited from communicating with child P without the mother's approval or a further court order. Communication between the father and child M was limited to telephone contact, unless otherwise ordered. Furthermore, all parties were granted liberty to apply on 48 hours' written notice. The court also directed that a document detailing the obligations, consequences of contravention, and assistance available for compliance be annexed to the orders, pursuant to sections 62B and 65DA(2).
