Keane and Keane

In *Keane and Keane*, heard by Dessau J, the mother sought a recovery order concerning the child M, born in November 1990. The precise nature of the dispute leading to this application is not detailed, but the core of the proceedings revolved around the mother's request for the court's intervention to recover the child.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the mother had established sufficient grounds to warrant the making of a recovery order under the relevant legislation. This required the court to consider the specific circumstances of the child and the mother's application in light of the legal criteria for such an order.

Dessau J dismissed the mother's application. While the reasons for this dismissal are not elaborated in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the court was not satisfied that the threshold for issuing a recovery order had been met. The final order reflects this determination, with the mother's application being refused.
