Cameroon and Darcy (No 2)

In the matter of *Cameroon and Darcy (No 2)*, Strickland J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application concerning a child born in July 1998. The dispute involved orders relating to the child's time with the mother and allegations of contravention.

The court was required to determine several issues, including whether to suspend previous orders for the mother spending time with the child, the need for a family consultant to interview the child and provide a report, and the mother's obligation to file and serve responding documents. The court also considered an application alleging contravention and the father's request to amend that application. Furthermore, the court addressed whether to grant an injunction restraining the mother from removing the child from school.

Strickland J applied provisions of the *Family Law Act 1975*, including sections 62G(2), 62B, and 65DA(2). The court ordered the suspension of previous orders favouring the mother's time with the child during an adjournment period. It directed a family consultant to interview the child and provide a report, with the possibility of an oral report. The mother was ordered to file and serve responding documents by a specified date. Leave was granted to the father to amend his application alleging contravention without re-service. The court also granted an injunction restraining the mother from removing the child from school. Further consideration of the applications was adjourned.
