Summary

A mother applied for leave to have her 13-year-old autistic child assessed by an expert and to adduce the resulting medical report as evidence for the remaining ancillary matter of child maintenance. The court dismissed the application, finding the existing evidence was sufficient to determine the child's reasonable expenses, and subjecting the child to further psychiatric assessment was not justified when the real dispute was about the affordability of private versus government special needs education.
