Pedrana and Pedrana

In the matter of *Pedrana and Pedrana*, heard by Watts J, the father sought to have a case stated to the Full Court concerning orders made on 27 April 2012. The specific nature of the dispute leading to these orders is not detailed in the provided text, but the father's application was to compel the Full Court to consider the matter.

The central legal issue before Watts J was whether the father's application to state a case to the Full Court should be granted or dismissed. This required the court to consider the criteria and circumstances under which a case can be formally stated for determination by a higher court.

Watts J dismissed the father's application. The reasoning behind this decision, and the specific legal principles applied to determine that the criteria for stating a case were not met, are not elaborated upon in the provided extract. The outcome was that the father's request to have the matter referred to the Full Court was unsuccessful.
