M-H (A Child) [2014] EWCA Civ 1396

Appeal by mother against placement order in respect of 6 year old child on the grounds that the judge had not applied the correct test in dispensing with the parents' consent and making a placement order; and if she did so, had not adequately analysed the expert evidence in conducting a proper balancing exercise in her contemplation of long term fostering as opposed to adoption. Appeal dismissed.
