CaseChat Overview and Summary

In the matter of *Franner & Harkness (No.2)*, Judge McGuire considered a contravention application brought by the father against the mother concerning alleged breaches of court orders. The dispute centred on the mother's alleged failure to comply with specific orders made by the Court.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the mother had contravened the relevant court orders on the dates specified in the application, and if so, whether she had a reasonable excuse for such contraventions.

Judge McGuire found that the mother had indeed breached the court orders on two occasions: 9 April 2020 and 7 May 2020. The judgment indicates that the Court was satisfied that these breaches occurred as alleged in the contravention application. The Court's orders reflect this finding of contravention.
