Swan and Collinson

In the matter of Swan and Collinson, heard by Rees J, the applications of the father, filed on 11 April 2017 and 7 June 2017, were before the Court. The specific nature of the dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, beyond the father's applications.

The central legal issue before the Court was the determination of the father's applications. The Court was also required to consider whether to grant leave to the Independent Children’s Lawyer to relist the matter for directions.

Rees J dismissed the father's applications. The Court granted leave to the Independent Children’s Lawyer to relist the matter for directions upon the release of the report of the Single Expert, Dr B. This indicates that the Court's decision was contingent on further expert evidence being provided.
