In allowing the parents’ appeal, the court concluded that the judge’s decision to refuse adjournment had been unfair. Common law principles of fairness were applicable and it was unnecessary to rely separately on art 6.
The Court of Appeal, Civil Division, dismissed the father’s appeal against the decision of the Family Court. The totality of evidence before the recorder was plainly sufficient to support the recorder's findings and no party was unfairly disadvantaged by the process by which the findings were made.
The Court of Appeal (Civil Division) allowed the mother’s appeal against findings made against her by the Family Court that she had inflicted injuries on her son.
