CaseChat Overview and Summary

In the matter of *Mortensen and Parker*, heard before Moore J, the applicant grandmother sought parenting orders concerning her grandchild. The respondent, presumably the child's parent, opposed this application. The precise nature of the dispute, beyond the grandmother's application for parenting orders, is not detailed in the provided text.

The court was required to determine whether to grant the grandmother's application for parenting orders. Additionally, the court considered the application of the Independent Children's Lawyer for costs.

Moore J dismissed the grandmother's application for parenting orders. The court also granted an injunction restraining the grandmother from contacting the child directly or indirectly, attending the child's school, or contacting any counsellor consulted by the child, except where the child initiates contact. Furthermore, the grandmother was restrained from commencing further proceedings for parenting orders concerning the child without judicial leave. The application for costs by the Independent Children's Lawyer was also dismissed.
