Cornell and Grover

In the matter of *Cornell and Grover*, heard before Stevenson J, the dispute concerned the living arrangements for a child born in October 2007. The court was required to make orders regarding the child's residence and contact with the parents.

The central legal issues before the court were the immediate care and control of the child, and the future determination of the child's time with the mother. The court also needed to address the transfer of the proceedings to another judicial officer for finalisation.

Stevenson J made orders that, pending further order, the child was to live with the father. The mother was directed to deliver the child to the father at a specified location and time. Furthermore, the father and child were to reside at the paternal grandparents' home. The proceedings were to be listed before Federal Magistrate Coakes for the determination of the child's time with the mother, and the proceedings were transferred to Federal Magistrate Coakes' docket for further directions.
