Hills and Killen (No 2)

In *Hills and Killen (No 2)*, Foster J of the Family Court of Australia considered a dispute arising from proceedings concerning the welfare of a child. The specific nature of the dispute, beyond its connection to child welfare proceedings, is not detailed in the provided text.

The central legal issue before the court was whether certain documents, identified in the judgment, should be referred to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions. This referral was contemplated in the context of potential criminal proceedings related to the matters before the Family Court.

Foster J ordered that the Registrar of the Family Court of Australia at Parramatta forward the documents in question to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions. This indicates the court's determination that there were grounds for such a referral, likely due to evidence suggesting criminal conduct relevant to the child welfare proceedings.
