PANDELL & WALBURG (No.2)

The matter of *Pandell & Walburg (No.2)* came before Chief Judge Alstergren. The dispute concerned parenting orders, specifically the father's time with the child and the mother's compliance with previous orders.

The court was required to determine whether the mother's withholding of the child from the father was reasonable, given the medical evidence presented regarding COVID-19 risks and a specific medical condition. The court also considered discrepancies between various medical reports and certificates provided by the parties.

Chief Judge Alstergren reasoned that the medical evidence concerning COVID-19 risks was insufficient to establish that the mother's withholding of the child was unreasonable. The court noted a divergence between the medical evidence from the City B Paediatric Clinic and that provided by the child's general practitioner. Consequently, the court made specific orders regarding the resumption of the father's time with the child, including variations to existing orders and provision for make-up time. The court reserved judgment and noted that parties were attending Family Report interviews.
