Walsh and McKinnon and Anor

The parties involved were the father and the mother, with the father pleading guilty to 26 contraventions of a court order. The matter came before Young J.

The central legal issue was the appropriate penalty for the father's contraventions of the existing court order.

Young J convicted the father on all 26 counts. The court ordered the father to enter into a two-year bond without surety, requiring him to be of good behaviour and to comply with the court order pronounced on 6 August 2007, or any subsequent order.
