Randwick and Anor and Keefe (No. 2)

In the matter of Randwick and Anor and Keefe (No. 2), Cronin J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application concerning alleged contravention. The specific nature of the contravention and the relationship between the parties, identified as Randwick and Anor (presumably the applicants) and Ms Keefe (the respondent), are not detailed in the provided extract, beyond the fact that Ms Keefe is referred to as "the mother".

The central legal issue before the court was the alleged contravention by Ms Keefe. The court was required to determine whether to issue a warrant for her arrest to ensure her attendance at a future hearing. This decision was made pursuant to section 65Q of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).

Cronin J ordered that an application for contravention filed on 4 June 2014 be adjourned to 22 December 2014. Crucially, the court issued a warrant for the arrest of Ms Keefe under section 65Q of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) to secure her attendance on the adjourned date. Ms Keefe was to be brought before the Family Court and was not to be released on bail without further order. The mother was granted liberty to apply for release on short notice prior to the return date. The court also directed that its reasons be transcribed and that a copy of the order be posted to Ms Keefe at two specified properties.
