Carter and Nussbaum and Ors (No 2)

In the matter of *Carter and Nussbaum and Ors (No 2)*, Benjamin J of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia considered an application by the mother concerning the admissibility of evidence. The dispute centred on the mother's attempt to rely upon a letter provided by Ms V from the LL Family Services.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the letter from Ms V was admissible as evidence. This required the court to consider the rules of evidence and the specific circumstances under which such a document could be presented and relied upon in family law proceedings.

Benjamin J dismissed the mother's application to rely upon the letter. While the reasons for this dismissal are not detailed in the provided text, the decision indicates that the court found the letter to be inadmissible or otherwise not to be relied upon in the proceedings.
