Newtober and Newtober

The parties in this matter were the mother and the father, who brought proceedings before Foster J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia. The dispute concerned an application made by the mother on 8 December 2014.

The central legal issue before the court was whether to grant the mother's application filed on 8 December 2014.

Foster J dismissed the mother's application. The court made no specific orders regarding costs at that time, but provided a timetable for the parties to file written submissions should an application for costs be made.
