Eagleton and Eagleton

In the matter of *Eagleton and Eagleton*, heard before McClelland J, the dispute concerned the future schooling arrangements for the parties' children. The father had filed an Application in a Case seeking specific orders regarding the children's education, which the mother opposed.

The central legal issue before the court was to determine the appropriate schooling arrangements for the children, particularly in light of the parties' inability to agree on the matter. This required the court to consider the best interests of the children and to make orders that would resolve the impasse between the parents.

McClelland J ordered that the parties first consult with a view to reaching an agreement on the children's schooling. If agreement could not be reached within 28 days of commencing these consultations, the children were to attend the public school in their designated intake area, pending further order. The father's application was otherwise dismissed, and he was ordered to pay the mother's costs associated with that application.
