Keane and Keane (No. 2)

In *Keane and Keane (No. 2)*, the applicant sought orders in relation to a contravention application and a related case filed on 5 June 2008. The proceedings were before Cronin J.

The court was required to determine the procedural steps necessary to advance the applications before it, including the amendment and service of originating process, the filing of further affidavits, and the timeframe for the respondent to file and serve any responsive material or applications.

Cronin J made several orders to facilitate the progression of the proceedings. These included granting the applicant leave to amend the contravention application and to serve it personally on the respondent by 18 July 2008, and also granting leave to file and serve a further affidavit by the same date. The respondent was given until 8 August 2008 to file and serve any applications or responsive material. The court also ordered that its reasons for judgment be transcribed and made available to all parties, including the Independent Children’s Lawyer, and that a specific letter be marked as an exhibit.
