Kemp and Dorsey (Child support)

The matter of *Kemp and Dorsey* concerned a dispute over child support payments, specifically whether cash payments made directly by the payer to the payee were received. The decision under review was affirmed by the court.

The primary legal issue before the court was to determine the factual question of whether the payer had made the alleged cash payments directly to the payee, and if so, whether these payments should be recognised as satisfying the child support obligations.

The court affirmed the decision under review, indicating that it found the payee's denial of receiving the cash payments to be credible. The legal principle applied would have involved assessing the evidence presented by both parties regarding the alleged cash transactions and determining the balance of probabilities as to whether those payments were indeed made and received. Without further detail on the specific evidence or reasoning, it is not possible to elaborate further on the legal principles applied beyond the general standard of proof in such matters.
