Klein & Seward (No 3)

In the matter of *Klein & Seward (No 3)*, heard before Young J, the dispute concerned an application by the father (Mr Klein) alleging contravention of a previous court order by the mother (NS Seward). The specific contravention related to financial obligations previously ordered on 22 February 2019.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the mother had contravened the order of 22 February 2019, and if so, to what extent. The court was required to determine the precise amount, if any, that the mother had failed to pay as ordered.

Young J found that the mother had not contravened the order in respect of the full amount of $2,445.39 alleged by the father. However, the court was satisfied that the mother had contravened the order to the extent of $373.23. The court also ordered that a previous order be amended to reflect the correct court name. The father's contravention application was dismissed in part, with the court noting the contravention of $373.23 but imposing no further penalty. All outstanding applications were dismissed.
