Dunne and Dunne

In the matter of *Dunne and Dunne*, heard before Cronin J, the proceedings concerned allegations of contravention of court orders made in family law proceedings. The specific nature of the contravention allegations and the precise orders sought by the parties are not detailed in the provided text, but the outcome indicates a dispute regarding compliance with existing court mandates.

The central legal issues before the court were the determination of whether contraventions of court orders had occurred, the categorisation of any proven contraventions as being in the more or less serious category, and the appropriate orders to be made in light of these findings. The court was required to assess the evidence presented in relation to the alleged breaches and apply the relevant legal tests for contravention and seriousness.

Cronin J found that contravention allegations numbered 2 and 4 were not substantiated and ordered them to be struck out. The court further found that any proven contravention fell into the less serious category. In light of these findings, the mother was ordered to enter into a bond for twelve months, conditional upon her compliance with all future court orders. Subject to the entry into this bond, the application filed on 14 June 2013 was otherwise dismissed.
