Saunders & Byron (No. 2)

In the matter of *Saunders & Byron (No. 2)*, the proceedings before Jordan J concerned an application for the disqualification of a judicial officer, alleging bias, and issues relating to the location of children and the potential issuance of a warrant.

The court was required to determine whether the judicial officer should be disqualified due to apprehended bias. Additionally, the court considered the location of the children, D, C, and B, and the necessity of issuing a warrant to ensure their return.

Jordan J dismissed the application for disqualification, finding no basis for apprehended bias. The court then made orders for the Director-General of the Department of Child Safety to intervene in the proceedings concerning the children. The Mother was directed to inform the children, D and C, of the court's intention to place them in the temporary care of their father by a specified date and that a Recovery Order would be issued if necessary to secure their return. The matter was adjourned for further mention.
