Coleman and Hindle and Anor (No 2)

In *Coleman and Hindle and Anor (No 2)*, heard by Murphy J of the Family Court of Australia, the proceedings concerned applications relating to children. The parties involved were the Mother, the Father, the Department of Communities (Child Safety Services), and the Maternal Grandmother. The dispute revolved around applications filed by the Mother and the Department, as well as applications filed by the Maternal Grandmother, with an oral application also made by the Maternal Grandmother concerning a transcript.

The court was required to determine the fate of the applications filed by the Mother and the Department, and specifically to rule on the applications made by the Maternal Grandmother. The court also had to consider an oral application made by the Maternal Grandmother regarding a transcript.

Murphy J dismissed the applications filed by the Maternal Grandmother and her oral application concerning the transcript. The court ordered that the Father file and serve a Notice of Address for Service within seven days. The applications filed by the Mother and the Department were adjourned for a further hearing. The costs of all parties in relation to the hearing were reserved.
