In Brief
A father challenged a High Court interim order regarding custody of his minor daughter. Both parents had previously agreed to a 2nd and 4th Saturday overnight access arrangement for the mother. The Supreme Court, declining to adjudicate the merits since the case was pending before the High Court, directed strict compliance with the earlier consent terms. The Court preserved the existing access arrangement until the High Court finally disposed of the custody matter, allowing either party to seek clarification from the High Court if implementation difficulties arose.
