About the Webinar

The 'Re Andrews principle' suggests that the capacity of a parent to provide care to their child is impaired when that parent raises safety concerns from the child spending time with the other parent and the court subsequently orders this to occur. In recent years, the application of this principle has been expressed in a variety of ways creating confusion and inconsistency across the profession. This session will examine the following:

  • The cases which have applied the Re Andrews principle and analyse the relevant facts which impacted the application of the principle in each case
  • How the issue was discussed, and the guidance provided, by the Full Court in Keane & Keane [2021] FamCAFC 1
  • Practical tips and insights into what practitioners should do when faced with this scenario in their matters including what to do when a judge appears to be incorrectly applying the principle
