The hearing
13.All parties agreed that the case should be argued on submissions only. The father has not applied to become a party, as he fully aligns himself with, and supports, the mother’s case. I have had the immense benefit of detailed written and oral submission from Ms Henke QC and Mr Halliday for the paternal grandmother, Mr Sampson QC and Dr. George on behalf of the local authority, Mr Goodwin QC and Mr Miller for the mother, and Mr Storey QC and Ms Sparrow for the Guardian.
