Transcript of the ex tempore judgment
McFARLAND J
Introduction
[1] This is an ex tempore judgment, but I will arrange for a transcript to be typed
and made available to the parties over the next few days. This judgment has been
anonymised to protect the identity of the child.
[2] On 27 April 2023 Her Honour Judge McCaffrey made a residence order in
favour of the father until the child attains the age of 16 years and also made a contact
order in favour of the mother with a rotating arrangement of Week 1 a three hour
contact supervised by Social Services and Week 2 a two hour contact at a contact
centre.
