Re R (Final) (2016)
20th October 2016
Court
Court of Appeal
Practice Areas
The court considered the proper approach to applications for the return of children who had been unilaterally removed from their home by one parent and taken to another place in England and Wales. There was no general principle in favour of summary return to the place where the child was formerly resident. Such proceedings would normally be brought under the Children Act 1989 and had to be decided by applying the welfare principle and checklist.
