- Court of Appeal
Leave to appeal was dismissed. A failure to comply with s6 does not automatically render the Family Court judgment void nor mandate a rehearing; the appellate court must assess materiality and the child's best interests and may decline to order a rehearing if the breach would not have affected the outcome or a rehearing would harm the child.
