Nardini and Nardini

In the matter of *Nardini and Nardini*, heard before McClelland J, the mother sought orders that Dr E interview the parties and the children. The father was also a party to the proceedings.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether it was in the best interests of the children for Dr E to conduct interviews with the parties and the children. This required the Court to consider the relevant principles of family law concerning the welfare and best interests of children in the context of parental disputes.

McClelland J dismissed the mother's application. While the specific reasoning is not detailed in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the Court concluded that the proposed interviews with Dr E were not considered to be in the best interests of the children at that time. The Court's decision reflects its overarching duty to prioritise the welfare of the children involved in family law proceedings.

The Court ordered that the mother’s application for orders requiring Dr E to interview the parties and the children be dismissed.
