U v FAMILY COURT AT AUCKLAND [2020] NZHC 3097
- Citation
- [2020] NZHC 3097
- Court
- High Court
The application for interim orders was dismissed because the applicant failed to show a very clear case for interference: the merits of the judicial review were not strong given the Family Court minute addressed relevant COCA provisions, the balance of convenience favored proceeding to a timely Family Court hearing consistent with the children's sense of time and welfare, and the interim orders would improperly pre‑empt the Family Court rather than preserve the applicant's position.
