Hollings and Green

The case of *Hollings and Green* concerned a dispute between a mother and father regarding their children. The specific nature of the dispute is not detailed, but the court's orders indicate it involved issues of parental involvement in significant events in the children's lives and the costs associated with legal representation. The decision was made by Foster J.

The primary legal issue before the court was to determine the extent to which the mother and father should be permitted to attend occasions significant to the welfare of their children. This included events related to schooling, sporting activities, religious education, and extracurricular activities, where parental attendance would reasonably be expected. The court also had to consider the dismissal of outstanding applications and the contribution towards the costs of the Independent Children's Lawyer.

Foster J ordered by consent that both the mother and father be at liberty to attend occasions significant to the welfare of the children, provided such attendance was reasonably expected. All other outstanding applications were dismissed. Furthermore, both the mother and father were ordered to contribute $5,161.20 each to Legal Aid NSW for the Independent Children's Lawyer's costs within two months. The proceedings were subsequently removed from the active pending cases list.
