Sally Bradley and Ms Deirdre Fottrell QC instructed by Powell Spencer & Partners, represented the applicants requesting the revocation of an adoption order.

On this basis, the court was able to consider the relevant factors in the case and determine whether the court should exercise its’ discretion under the inherent jurisdiction to revoke the adoption orders.
