Hart and Gamble (Child support)

The case of *Hart and Gamble* concerned a dispute over child support payments. The applicant, Hart, sought to have a previous decision regarding the percentage of care for the child reviewed and set aside. The matter came before the court for determination.

The central legal issue before the court was whether there had been a change to the likely pattern of care for the child. This question was crucial in determining the appropriate assessment of child support obligations between the parties.

The court considered the evidence presented regarding the care arrangements for the child. It applied the principles of the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988* concerning changes to the pattern of care. After reviewing the facts, the court found that there had indeed been a change to the likely pattern of care. Consequently, the court set aside the previous decision and substituted its own determination.
