Collu and Rinaldo (No 3)

In *Collu and Rinaldo (No 3)*, Watts J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the mother for leave to adduce further evidence. The dispute concerned proceedings between the mother and the father, though the specific nature of those proceedings is not detailed in the provided text.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the mother should be granted permission to present additional evidence, in the form of an affidavit, to the court. This required the court to consider the admissibility and relevance of the proposed evidence within the existing proceedings.

Watts J dismissed the mother's application. While the specific reasons for this dismissal are not elaborated upon in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the court found the application for leave to adduce further evidence to be unsuccessful.
