Curran and Hammond and Anor

In the matter of *Curran and Hammond and Anor*, heard before Judge Terry, the proceedings concerned an application by the father regarding his child, X. The second respondent also sought to withdraw from the proceedings.

The court was required to determine the father's application, the appropriate orders concerning the child's living arrangements and parental responsibility, and whether to grant an injunction restraining the father's contact with the child.

Judge Terry granted leave for the solicitor for the applicant and the second respondent to withdraw from the proceedings. The father's application was struck out and dismissed. The court ordered that the child shall live with the mother and that the mother shall have sole parental responsibility. Furthermore, the father was ordered to have no time and no communication with the child. Pursuant to section 68B of the *Family Law Act 1975*, an injunction was granted restraining the father from removing the child from any school, day care centre, extra-curricular activity, or from the care of any person with whom the mother had placed the child.
