    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMC8704/2023

    Although the ex parte urgency threshold was marginal, the court treated the children s welfare as decisive and ordered that access on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday take place initially at the former matrimonial home (with the mother and maternal grandmother required to leave 15 minutes before access) and allowed the father liberty to take the children outside if they were willing; the court refused to vary its prior refusal to order therapy absent agreement and declined to impose the proposed undertakings on an ex parte basis, and made no order as to costs.

    D v. W

    Citation
    D v. W
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP1953/2002

    The court made interim residence and access orders because, on balance, separating the parents for the short interim period and regulating access would best protect the children's welfare; the orders struck a balance between minimizing disruption and ensuring substantial contact with the mother, subject to parties' undertakings and practical exceptions.
