The parties to this matter were the parents of a child, L. The dispute concerned arrangements for L's attendance at preschool. The decision was made by Hannam J in the Family Court of Australia.

The primary legal issue before the court was to determine the specific arrangements for L's commencement and attendance at preschool, including the timing, location, daily attendance, transportation, costs, and the necessary steps for enrolment.

Hannam J ordered that L commence preschool in the week of 16 February 2015. The specific preschool was to be agreed between the parents, or failing agreement, L was to attend a preschool nominated by the father for a minimum of one day per week up to 2.5 days per week, subject to availability and professional assessment. The mother was ordered to deliver L to preschool, and the father was to collect L and deliver him to the mother's home. Costs associated with preschool attendance were to be shared equally between the parents, and both parents were required to sign any necessary enrolment documents. The father had already made preliminary enquiries and arrangements for L's enrolment.
