SCANLON & ALVARDA

In the matter of *Scanlon & Alvarda*, Judge Newbrun of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia made orders concerning parenting proceedings. The dispute involved parenting arrangements, and the proceedings had been transferred to the Federal Circuit Court.

The primary legal issue before the court was the appropriate disposition of the parenting proceedings, including the transfer of the matter to another registry. The court was also required to consider the preparation of consent orders and the potential listing of the proceedings in a specialised list.

By consent of the parties and pursuant to Division 13.2 of the Federal Circuit Court Rules, the court made orders and declarations in accordance with a marked Exhibit A. The court directed the solicitor for the Independent Children’s Lawyer to prepare a typescript of these consent orders within 14 days. Furthermore, the proceedings were forthwith transferred to the Parramatta Registry of the Family Court of Australia and listed for mention before the Registrar on 26 June 2019. The Family Court of Australia was respectfully requested to consider whether the proceedings should be placed in the Magellan list.
