The Applicant sought an interim parenting schedule, including a small adjustment for summer holidays.

The Respondent cross-moved for a different schedule, an order requiring the Applicant to undergo an alcohol dependency assessment, and disclosure of banking and credit card statements.

The court granted the Applicant's proposed interim parenting schedule, finding it reasonable and in the child's best interests.

The Respondent's requests for a further alcohol assessment and additional disclosure were dismissed, as she failed to provide sufficient evidence to substantiate the alcohol dependency allegations or demonstrate the relevance and proportionality of the requested financial records.

The appellant appealed a series of arbitration awards concerning parenting issues for the parties' four-year-old child, E. The awards included E's registration on the Korean Family Registry, the requirement to hire a transfer facilitator for child exchanges, and the arbitrator's costs decision.

The court also addressed preliminary motions for fresh evidence.

The appeal was dismissed in its entirety, with the court upholding the arbitrator's decisions, finding no palpable and overriding errors of fact or errors in principle.

The fresh evidence motions were largely dismissed, applying the Palmer test, due to issues of hearsay, reliability, and statutory prohibition.
