Sanderson and Sanderson (No 2)

This matter concerned an application by the mother and father for orders regarding their child, B, born in 2004. The dispute before Gill J involved determining the arrangements for the child's living situation and time spent with each parent, as well as imposing certain restrictions on the parties' conduct in relation to the child.

The court was required to determine the most appropriate orders for parental responsibility, the child's residence, and the time the child would spend with each parent. Additionally, the court had to consider whether to grant injunctions restraining the parties from discussing the proceedings with the child, showing the child documents related to the proceedings, questioning the child about her views on future arrangements, or denigrating the other parent.

Gill J made orders for equal shared parental responsibility, with the child to live with the mother. The child was also ordered to spend time with the father on alternate weekends and on Christmas Day 2016. Furthermore, injunctions were granted, restraining both parties from discussing the proceedings or allegations with the child, showing the child any related documents, questioning the child about her views on living or spending time arrangements, or denigrating the other parent or their family members in the child's presence.
