Stapleton and Bryant

In *Stapleton and Bryant*, heard by Dessau J, the dispute concerned arrangements for a child's schooling. The orders indicate that the mother and father were parties to proceedings before the court, and the primary issue addressed by the court was the choice of school for their child.

The court was required to determine whether the child should commence schooling at B Grammar School, and if so, which parent would bear the financial responsibility for tuition fees and associated expenses. Additionally, the court considered an application by the father seeking the judge's disqualification from hearing the matter.

Dessau J ordered, by consent of the parties, that the child should forthwith commence schooling at B Grammar School from Prep to Year 12. The mother was ordered to be responsible for all tuition fees and school expenses. The father's application for the judge to disqualify herself was dismissed. The court also made directions regarding the adjournment of the mother's application and the attendance of counsel.
