O'Keefe and Pascoe

The dispute before Gill J concerned parenting arrangements for a child, D, involving the Mother and the Father. The court made several orders regarding D's time with the Mother, an injunction restraining the Mother from allowing D contact with Mr Pascoe, and directions for the Father to file an Initiating Application. The proceedings were adjourned for further directions, with a request for an Auslan interpreter.

The court was required to determine the appropriate interim parenting arrangements for D, including the extent of D's time with the Mother and whether an injunction should be granted to prevent contact with Mr Pascoe. Additionally, the court considered an objection to a subpoena issued by the New South Wales police.

Gill J made orders reflecting the court's assessment of the immediate needs of the child. The court suspended a previous order, established a specific schedule for D to spend time with the Mother, and granted an injunction preventing D from being in the presence of Mr Pascoe. The objection to the police subpoena was overruled. The court also directed the Father to initiate formal proceedings and adjourned the matter for further directions, noting the need for an interpreter.
