Knill and Beckett (No 2)

In *Knill and Beckett (No 2)*, Gill J of the Family Court of Australia considered orders relating to child spending time with the father and the conduct of an upcoming trial. The dispute concerned arrangements for the child, B, and the procedural steps leading to a final hearing.

The court was required to determine the specific terms of the father's time with the child, including weekday and fortnightly arrangements, and to establish protocols for changeovers between the parents. Additionally, the court needed to set out the procedural requirements for the parties in preparation for the trial, including the filing and service of updated material, the issuance of subpoenas, and the preparation of case outlines and tender bundles.

The orders made by consent addressed the father's time with B, specifying days and times, and detailed the location and conditions for changeovers, including provisions for supervised changeovers at a designated centre and alternative arrangements if that centre was unavailable. These orders also discharged previous orders made on 21 December 2016. The court further set a trial date and established strict timelines for the parties to file and serve evidence, any updated material, and case outlines, as well as requirements for the preparation and exchange of tender bundles.
