Nathan and Merrill

The matter of *Nathan and Merrill* concerned an application before Berman J. The dispute involved Mr Merrill and related to his compliance with parenting orders.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether Mr Merrill should be required to enter into a bond for a period of nine months, without surety or security, and the conditions to be attached to such a bond.

Berman J ordered that Mr Merrill enter into a bond for a period of nine months without surety or security. The conditions stipulated were that he must be of good behaviour during the bond period and must comply with all current and future parenting orders. The form of the order was noted as being subject to its entry in the Court's records.
