Nathan and Merrill (No 2)

In *Nathan and Merrill (No 2)*, Berman J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the mother for interim orders in proceedings concerning her children. The father had filed an Application in a Case on 20 November 2017, and the mother had filed a Response on 28 November 2017, which included the interim orders sought.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant the interim orders sought by the mother. This required the court to assess the evidence presented and determine if the threshold for making such orders had been met in the circumstances of the case.

Berman J dismissed the interim orders sought by the mother. The court then ordered that the proceedings be placed on the list of matters awaiting a First Day Hearing.
