- High Court
The Family Court's variation to quarterly two‑hour supervised contact was insufficiently justified because it failed to adequately consider the combined practical effects of joint access for seven children and the individual needs of each child and did not ensure appropriate psychological assessment; accordingly the High Court allowed the appeal and remitted the respondent's application to the Family Court for rehearing with the May 2012 order to remain in force pending rehearing.
