Genna and Dennis

In the matter of *Genna and Dennis*, Watts J considered a dispute between the parents concerning their child, E. The proceedings involved an application for orders relating to E's welfare, specifically regarding his diet.

The court was required to determine the terms of consent orders to be made regarding E's dietary arrangements while in the father's care. This included how recommendations from a Ms K would be obtained, communicated, and ultimately implemented, particularly in the event of disagreement between the parents.

Watts J made orders by consent, incorporating a "Short Minutes of Order" as Exhibit A. The court accepted undertakings from each party and ordered that the father consult with Ms K regarding E's diet and discuss her recommendations in good faith. Ms K was requested to provide her recommendations in writing to the parties' lawyers. If the parents could not agree on E's diet following this consultation, the father was to adhere to Ms K's written recommendations. The orders also included a Fact Sheet detailing the obligations, consequences of contravention, and available assistance, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the relevant legislation.
