Re: GC (A Child) (WITHDRAWL OF ACRE PROCEEDINGS) [2020] EWCA Civ 848 

Jonathan Sampson QC appeared on behalf of the First Respondent Local Authority and Matthew Brookes-Baker appeared on behalf of the Second Respondent Mother, who was opposing an appeal against a Circuit Judge’s decision to grant permission to a Local Authority to withdraw proceedings where findings of fact on an alleged NAI had been sought. The appeal was allowed and the matter was remitted for the fact finding hearing to take place.
