Re Logan

In the matter of *Re Logan*, heard before Watts J, the applicants sought orders in relation to a child named Logan. The dispute concerned the nature of the orders sought and the procedural requirements for their service.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the requirement under Rule 4.10 of the *Family Law Rules 2004* (Cth) for service on the prescribed child welfare authority should be dispensed with. The court was also required to determine the substantive applications made by the applicants.

Watts J dispensed with the requirement for service on the child welfare authority. However, the court ultimately dismissed the orders sought in the Initiating Application. The court also made extensive orders for the anonymisation of the judgment and court file to protect the identity of the child, Logan, and any persons involved in his treatment, with liberty granted to provide un-anonymised documents to those involved in Logan's treatment.
