Grant and Aiden (No. 7)

In the matter of Grant and Aiden (No. 7), Justice Macmillan of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia considered applications made by the mother and the maternal grandmother. The mother sought leave to file an Application in a Case, while the maternal grandmother sought leave to intervene in the proceedings.

The primary legal issues before the court were whether to grant the mother leave to file her application and whether to grant the maternal grandmother leave to intervene. These applications were made orally during proceedings.

Justice Macmillan dismissed both applications. The court did not provide detailed reasons for its decision in the provided text, but the outcome indicates that the threshold for granting such leave was not met in this instance. The orders made reflect the court's determination on these interlocutory applications.
