Questão jurídica principal
Whether the first-instance order had to be set aside because the husband's right to be heard was violated by deciding before the response deadline expired.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The court held that once a short response period is granted, it must be awaited; the husband had timely filed his submission, and no urgent danger justified ruling earlier.
Fundamentação extraída
The authority knew of the representation and had to wait until the 8-day deadline expired. There was no bad faith delay by the husband, and a delay of one or two days would not have harmed the child’s welfare.
