Lander & Ors and Bradbury & Anor

In the matter of *Lander & Ors and Bradbury & Anor*, heard by Gill J, the applicants sought various orders concerning a child, X, born in 2001. The proceedings involved applications filed by the applicants on 20 and 23 April 2018, and a parenting response filed by the father on 7 May 2018.

The central legal issues before the court concerned the applications made by the parties and the father's parenting response. The court was required to determine the disposition of these applications and the parenting arrangements for the child X.

Gill J dismissed the applications filed by the applicants on 20 and 23 April 2018, as well as the father's parenting response filed on 7 May 2018, noting that the father's parenting response to an application in a case with respect to the child X was withdrawn and dismissed. The court also made specific provision for changeover arrangements should the child fall ill while in the care of either parent, stipulating that changeover would occur at a public place agreed between the parties, or at the Suburb D Police Station in default of agreement. The proceedings were subsequently transferred to the Registrar’s list pending their removal for trial or further application.
