White and Andrews

In the matter of *White and Andrews*, heard before Johns J, the dispute concerned applications relating to a Watch List order and an Initiating Application filed by the mother. The father sought the discharge of the Watch List order, while the mother had filed an Initiating Application, the nature of which is not detailed beyond its filing date.

The primary legal issues before the court were whether the existing Watch List order should be discharged and the fate of the mother's Initiating Application. The court was also required to determine the appropriate method of service for certain documents on the father and to consider any subsequent applications the father might wish to make.

Johns J reasoned that the Watch List order should be discharged. The court ordered that the mother serve the father by email with the discharge order, her Initiating Application, and her supporting affidavit. The father was granted liberty to file an application and supporting affidavit seeking orders in relation to the day's proceedings within 21 days of service. Ultimately, the mother's Initiating Application filed on 6 April 2016 was dismissed.
