Appellant Seeks to Reopen Appeal, Present New Evidence in Parenting Order Dispute
The case involves an appellant who is dissatisfied with a court decision regarding parenting orders for her child. She filed an application to reopen the appeal, intending to include previously excluded evidence and introduce new evidence that could impact the trial and appeal outcomes. However, the application was dismissed, and the respondent's costs associated with this application were reserved for the appeal. The main issue was the appellant's dissatisfaction with the final parenting orders made by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. The orders involved the child transitioning from the appellant's primary care to the respondent's sole care and sole parental responsibility, with the appellant having supervised time with the child. The applicable law in this case was Baghti & Baghti and Ors (No 2) [2014] FamCAFC 204.
