Ramsay and Wade (No.4)

In *Ramsay and Wade (No.4)*, the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the Respondent Mother concerning her conduct. The specific nature of the dispute leading to this application is not detailed in the provided text, but it resulted in a court order concerning the Respondent Mother's behaviour.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the Respondent Mother should be required to enter into a bond under section 70NEC of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). This section pertains to the Court's power to order a person to enter into a bond to be of good behaviour.

The Court determined that the Respondent Mother was required to enter into such a bond. The reasoning for this decision, based on the limited text provided, appears to stem from a finding that such an order was necessary to ensure her good behaviour. The Court exercised its discretion under section 70NEC of the *Family Law Act*.

Consequently, the Court ordered the Respondent Mother to enter into a bond, without surety or security, for a period of 12 months from the date of the order, on the condition that she be of good behaviour during that term.
