CaseChat Overview and Summary
In the matter of *Collard & Walker*, the husband sought a review of interim orders made by Senior Registrar FitzGibbon on 11 August 2014. The dispute concerned children and involved applications for injunctions. Specifically, the injunctions sought to restrain either party from interfering with the children's time with the other parent and from questioning the children about the other parent. An Independent Children's Lawyer had been appointed by consent, and the husband also sought to discharge this order on review.
The court was required to determine whether the Senior Registrar's interim orders, including the appointment of an Independent Children's Lawyer and the restraining orders, should be upheld or set aside on review. The husband's application challenged the appropriateness of these interim measures.
Thornton J dismissed the husband's application for a review of the Senior Registrar's orders. The court's reasoning, though not detailed in the provided text, resulted in the affirmation of the existing interim orders. The outcome was that the husband's application was dismissed, and directions were given for written submissions regarding costs, with the possibility of costs being determined on the papers unless oral submissions were requested. The matter was then placed back in the list for judicial allocation.
