SALERNO & SALERNO

In the parenting proceedings between Salerno & Salerno, Hannam J recused himself from further hearing the matter. The proceedings were also declassified from the Magellan protocol.

The central issue before the court was whether Hannam J should continue to preside over the parenting proceedings.

Hannam J determined that recusal was appropriate. While the specific reasons for recusal are not detailed in the provided text, the decision to step aside indicates a finding that it was in the interests of justice for a different judicial officer to hear the matter. Pursuant to section 33B of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), the proceedings were subsequently transferred to the Federal Circuit Court at Parramatta for listing.
