HANSON & HANSON

In the matter of *Hanson & Hanson*, heard by Judge McGuire, the court considered a contravention application filed by one party against the other. The application alleged four counts of contravention, and the respondent admitted the factual basis of these contraventions. The central dispute before the court was whether the respondent had a reasonable excuse for these admitted contraventions.

The primary legal issue before Judge McGuire was to determine whether the admitted contraventions were proven without reasonable excuse. This required the court to assess the evidence presented by the respondent in support of their claim of reasonable excuse and to apply the relevant legal principles governing contraventions in family law proceedings.

Judge McGuire found that the respondent had failed to establish a reasonable excuse for the contraventions. The court's reasoning, though not detailed in the provided text, led to the conclusion that the factual basis of counts 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the contravention application were proven without a reasonable excuse. Consequently, the court ordered that the matter be listed in the Federal Circuit Court at Launceston for the determination of penalty.
