- High Court
The judicial review applications are dismissed: there is no evidence Judge Cook was biased or predeter-mined; the Family Court was entitled to confirm the s 133 report order (it was not a new order) and could reasonably form the view the s 133(6) criteria were met; judicial review of s 133 orders is restricted to clear‑cut errors or bias and is unavailable here; delay did not render the s 133 order unlawful and the remedies sought lack utility.
