Blakeley and Morrell

In the matter of Blakeley and Morrell, the applicant mother sought a stay of orders made on 22 August 2014, which concerned the living arrangements and time spent between the children and the respondent father. The application was heard by Judge Myers.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether it was in the best interests of the children to grant a stay of the existing orders, specifically concerning their living arrangements with the mother and time spent with the father.

Judge Myers reasoned that granting the stay, as proposed by the mother, would not be in the children's best interests. Consequently, the application for a stay of the 22 August 2014 orders was refused and dismissed. The Court also reserved the costs of the respondent in the stay application for later determination.
