FA-2025-000045 - [2025] EWHC 2146 (Fam)

For the reasons I have given, I am satisfied that the mother’s appeal must be allowed on Grounds 1, 3 and 4. I dismiss Ground 2 and 5. I am further satisfied that a finding of fact hearing is necessary in this case to determine the allegations made by the mother. In the circumstances, I shall remit the matter for a finding of fact hearing before a different Circuit judge.
