Cleary and Ngok

In the matter of *Cleary and Ngok*, Dawe J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered applications filed by the father alleging contraventions of parenting orders. The specific nature of the alleged contraventions and the precise orders in dispute are not detailed in the provided text, but the proceedings concerned the father's claims of breaches by the mother.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the father had established, on the balance of probabilities, that the mother had contravened the existing parenting orders. This required the Court to assess the evidence presented by both parties in relation to the alleged breaches.

Dawe J dismissed the Contravention Applications filed by the father. The reasoning for this dismissal is not elaborated upon in the provided extract, but the outcome indicates that the father failed to satisfy the Court that the mother had contravened the parenting orders as alleged. Consequently, no orders were made against the mother in relation to these contravention proceedings.
