Zaccardi and Zaccardi (No 2)

In *Zaccardi and Zaccardi (No 2)*, Rees J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the father for supervised contact with his child. The specific nature of the dispute leading to this application is not detailed in the provided text, beyond the father's desire for supervised contact.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant the father leave to make an oral, interim application for supervised contact. This involved assessing the merits of such an application in the context of the existing circumstances, even though the specific grounds for the application and the child's best interests were not elaborated upon in the provided extract.

Rees J granted the father leave to make the oral, interim application for supervised contact. However, immediately following this, the court dismissed the application itself. The reasoning behind this dismissal, despite granting leave to make the application, is not provided in the extract, leaving the specific legal principles applied to reach the final outcome unclear.
