Feranti and Connor (No. 2)

This matter concerned an application by the father, Mr Feranti, in proceedings involving his child with the mother, Ms Connor. The specific dispute revolved around the father's application filed on 14 April 2008, which sought various orders. The decision was made by Murphy J.

The primary legal issue before the court was the determination of the father's Case Application filed on 14 April 2008. This application contained multiple paragraphs, and the court was required to decide which of these paragraphs should be dismissed and which, if any, should proceed. A specific point of contention was paragraph 8 of the application, which related to an alleged contravention concerning the child's time with the father during the April 2008 school holidays.

Murphy J dismissed paragraphs 1 to 7 and 9 to 13 of the father's Case Application. However, paragraph 8 was adjourned to a date to be fixed. This adjournment was for the purpose of hearing a separate application by the father for leave to file a contravention application, specifically concerning the child's alleged failure to spend time with him during the April 2008 school holidays. The court also directed the father to formally serve sealed copies of the documents he relied upon on the other parties.
