McKittridge and Lyle

Judicial Registrar Loughnan presided over proceedings involving McKittridge and Lyle, where the central dispute concerned the finalisation of orders, likely in a family law context given the reference to an Independent Children's Lawyer. The parties sought to have orders made in accordance with a proposed minute of order.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether to adopt the proposed Minute of Order as presented by the Independent Children's Lawyer. Additionally, the Court was required to determine whether to grant leave for the parties to relist the proceedings for further consideration of specific paragraphs within that minute of order.

The Judicial Registrar made orders in terms of the document titled “Minute of Order as Proposed by the Independent Children's Lawyer,” marked as Exhibit 3. This indicates the Court accepted the proposed arrangements. Furthermore, leave was granted to the parties to restore the proceedings to the list before the Judicial Registrar concerning paragraphs 4, 5, 6, and 7 of Exhibit 3, provided seven days' notice was given to the other parties and the Court.
