If the matters at issue are not resolved the case proceeds to a 'proof.' A proof is a full court hearing where evidence is given by witnesses in proceedings open court. It can be reported by the media, subject to certain restrictions aimed at protecting 'public morals' and children. The court may also refer the dispute to a mediator accredited to a specified family mediation organisation at any stage in the proceedings.
