Rittman and Rittman (No 2)

In *Rittman and Rittman (No 2)*, Barry J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application for the disclosure of certain information. The dispute concerned a notification document originating from the Department of Communities (Child Safety Services) (Town G), dated 8 July 2009 and 23 July 2009.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the identities of the notifiers within these specific departmental documents should be disclosed. This question arose in the context of proceedings before the court, and the court was required to determine the appropriate course of action regarding the confidentiality of the notifiers' identities.

Barry J ordered that the identities of the notifiers contained within the specified notification documentation be disclosed. This decision was made pursuant to section 69ZW(6) of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), indicating that the court found sufficient grounds under that provision to permit such disclosure.
