CaseChat Overview and Summary

In the matter of *Becke and Mooney*, heard before Justice Jordan of the Family Court of Australia, the dispute concerned family law proceedings. The specific nature of the dispute, beyond its classification as a family law matter, is not detailed in the provided text.

The court was required to determine the appropriate forum for the continuation of the proceedings and to make consequential orders regarding the representation of the children involved. This included considering the urgency of the matter and the need for specific reports and legal representation for the children.

Justice Jordan ordered that the matter be transferred to the Federal Magistrates Court at Coffs Harbour, with a request for priority given the apparent urgency. The court also directed that the Federal Magistrates Court take into account the Family Court's recommendation for the urgent appointment of an Independent Children’s Lawyer and the preparation of a Family Report. Furthermore, Mr Damien Carter was discharged as the Independent Children’s Lawyer, and a copy of the judgment was to be provided to the Federal Magistrates Court.
