CaseChat Overview and Summary

In the matter of *Keane and Keane (No 2)*, McEvoy J considered an application by the mother for variation and stay of certain orders made on 8 May 2020, pending the determination of her appeal. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, beyond the fact that it involved family law proceedings and an appeal by the mother.

The primary legal issues before McEvoy J were whether to vary paragraph 4(b) of the previous orders, and whether to grant a stay of paragraphs 4(c) to 4(g), 5, and 14(a) of those orders, pending the mother's appeal. Additionally, the court considered an application by the mother dated 29 June 2020, and the mother's request for leave to provide specific documents to her medical practitioners.

McEvoy J ordered that paragraph 4(b) of the 8 May 2020 orders be varied to continue pending the hearing and determination of the mother's appeal. Furthermore, paragraphs 4(c) to 4(g), 5, and 14(a) of the same orders were stayed pending the appeal. The mother was granted leave for her solicitors to provide the expert report of Dr E, the Family Report, and the Court’s reasons for judgment to her medical practitioner and psychologist. The mother's application dated 29 June 2020 was otherwise dismissed.
