Gora and Gora

In the matter of *Gora and Gora*, heard before Stevenson J, the dispute concerned an application to vary an existing court order regarding the collection and return of children. The specific point of contention was the location at which the father was to collect and return the children at the commencement and conclusion of his time with them.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to vary an existing order to specify that the father must collect the children from and return them to the mother’s home. Additionally, the court was required to determine the fate of outstanding applications for contravention filed by the father.

Stevenson J varied the existing order to mandate that the father collect and return the children to the mother’s home for all prescribed periods of time. This variation addressed the practical arrangements for the children’s transitions between parents. Furthermore, the court ordered that all outstanding applications for contravention filed by the father be withdrawn and dismissed.
