Rickard and Griffin

In the matter of *Rickard and Griffin*, heard before Dessau J, the dispute concerned applications relating to children. The specific nature of the dispute, beyond its relation to children, is not detailed in the provided text.

The court was required to determine the future conduct of the applications, including the scheduling of hearings and the preparation of reasons for judgment. Additionally, the court was tasked with making orders concerning the children's placement on a waiting list for a contact centre and the allocation of costs.

Dessau J ordered that all existing applications be adjourned to be heard on 30 March 2009 for four days. The Registrar was directed to arrange a telephone mention for early to mid-February 2009. The respondent mother's costs for the day were reserved, and the court's reasons for judgment were to be prepared with priority and forwarded to the parties. Finally, both the applicant and respondent were ordered to cooperate with the Independent Children's Lawyer (ICL) in applying to place the children's names on the waiting list at Gordon Care Contact Centre.
