CaseChat Overview and Summary

In the matter of *Follett & Langley*, heard before Faulks DCJ, the father sought to reopen proceedings to allow for a further interview with a child. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties is not detailed, but the application concerned the procedural steps within family law proceedings.

The central legal issue before the court was whether to permit a further interview with the child in the reopened proceedings. This required the court to consider the principles governing the reopening of final orders and the circumstances under which further evidence, particularly from a child, would be admitted.

His Honour dismissed the father's application. While the reasons for this dismissal are not elaborated upon in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the court found no sufficient grounds to reopen the proceedings for the purpose of a further child interview. The father's Application in a Case filed on 13 January 2016 was therefore dismissed.
