Darcy and Cameroon (No 3)

In the matter of *Darcy and Cameroon (No 3)*, Strickland J considered an application by the father concerning allegations of contravention and related interlocutory matters. The dispute involved allegations of contravention by the mother, and the father sought various orders, including an extension of time for filing evidence, an adjournment of the contravention proceedings, and an injunction restraining the mother from posting material on her Facebook page.

The court was required to determine whether to grant the father's application for an extension of time for the filing of evidence by both parties, whether to adjourn the further consideration of the father's amended application alleging contravention, and whether to grant an injunction restraining the mother from posting material on her Facebook page. Additionally, the court considered the need for an updated family assessment report.

Strickland J granted an extension of time for both parties to file and serve their affidavits of evidence in chief, setting a new deadline of 30 March 2010. The further consideration of the father's amended application alleging contravention was adjourned to 16 April 2010. Crucially, the court granted an oral application by the father, ordering the mother to forthwith remove all material relating to the case, including identifying information of the parties and the child, from her Facebook page. An injunction was also granted restraining the mother from posting any such material during the period of the adjournment. Furthermore, pursuant to s 62G(2) of the *Family Law Act 1975*, the court ordered Dr A, a family consultant, to prepare an updated family assessment report for the trial.
