Re X (A Child) (Female Genital Mutilation Protection Order) (2018)
31st July 2018
Court
Court of Appeal
Practice Areas
The court quashed part of a female genital mutilation protection order prohibiting the removal of a two-year-old girl from the UK until she was 16 where there was insufficient evidence for the imposition of an absolute travel ban, and where the judge had failed to give sufficient reasons as to why another less intrusive order would not have sufficiently protected the child from female genital mutilation.
