Broydon and Broydon and Anor

In the matter of *Broydon and Broydon and Anor*, Justice Baumann of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by Mr Broydon for leave to make an application for the adoption of two children, Y Rose and Z Rose. The application was made pursuant to section 60G of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).

The central legal issue before the Court was whether to grant Mr Broydon leave to proceed with his application for adoption under the *Adoption Act 2009* (Qld). This required the Court to consider the specific criteria and requirements for granting such leave under the relevant Commonwealth legislation.

Justice Baumann granted Mr Broydon leave to make the application for adoption. The Court's decision was based on its assessment of the circumstances and its power under section 60G of the *Family Law Act 1975* to permit such an application. The specific form of the final orders was to be subject to the formal entry of the orders in the Court's records.
