Harcourt Chambers’ Public Law Newsletter — February 2026 Edition
27th Feb 2026 | Newsletters and Articles
February has brought several decisions with direct day to day consequences for local authorities, children’s guardians, and advocates in care proceedings and inherent jurisdiction work.
Each judgment carries a clear procedural lesson and rewards close, practical attention.
This edition covers three judgments worth keeping to hand. They address: the limits of inherent jurisdiction where a child is subject to an interim care order, disclosure to the Disclosure and Barring Service following findings of fact, and the modern approach to expert evidence in alienating behaviour litigation.
