Peters and Richards (No 2)

In the matter of *Peters and Richards (No 2)*, Bell J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application concerning orders previously made on 22 May 2013. The proceedings involved the Respondent Father, Mr Richards, who was a prisoner.

The primary legal issue before the Court was the discharge of certain orders made on 22 May 2013. The Court also had to determine whether to grant the Respondent Father leave to appear by telephone at a further hearing.

Bell J ordered the discharge of orders (3) to (18) of the previous order. The matter was adjourned for further submissions before Bell J on 30 August 2013, at which time the Respondent Father was granted leave to appear by telephone.
