DARLEY & DARLEY

In *Darley & Darley*, the applicant alleged that the respondent had contravened court orders on ten occasions without reasonable excuse. The proceedings were heard by Carew J in the Family Court of Australia.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the applicant had established a prima facie case for each of the ten alleged contraventions. The court was required to determine if the evidence presented by the applicant was sufficient to demonstrate that the respondent had, in fact, contravened the specified orders.

Carew J found that the evidence failed to establish a prima facie case in relation to four of the alleged contraventions. Consequently, the court dismissed these specific contraventions. The judgment indicates that the remaining alleged contraventions were also dismissed, although the specific reasons for those dismissals are not detailed in the provided text.
