Mou and Chhoi (No 2)

In *Mou and Chhoi (No 2)*, Johns J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application concerning the welfare of a child. The dispute involved allegations of neglect and concerns about the living conditions within the father's residence.

The primary legal issue before the court was to determine the appropriate interim orders to ensure the child's safety and well-being, pending further investigation into the allegations. This involved assessing the immediate risks to the child and the necessity of obtaining direct evidence of the home environment.

Johns J ordered that legal practitioners for both parties attend the father's residence to inspect and photograph the state of the home. This measure was intended to provide the court with firsthand evidence of the living conditions. The proceedings were subsequently adjourned part-heard to allow for this inspection and further consideration of the matter.
