Independent Childrena**s Lawyer and SS and A nor

This matter came before Barry J in the Family Court of Australia concerning proceedings between the Independent Children's Lawyer (ICL) and the Father and Mother. The dispute involved applications and responses filed by the parties, leading to the ICL's involvement and subsequent applications.

The court was required to determine the applications made by the Mother and the ICL, and to make orders regarding the attendance of the parents for psychiatric assessments. The court also had to consider the issue of costs.

Barry J ordered that both the Father and the Mother attend interviews with Dr X, as arranged by the ICL, for the preparation of a psychiatric report. The court further ordered that any party failing to attend such an interview would be liable for any cancellation fees incurred. The Mother's application, filed on 9 June 2009, was dismissed. Finally, the Mother was ordered to pay the ICL's costs, fixed at $1,320, in relation to the ICL's amended application filed on 3 June 2009, within thirty days.
