Re R (A Child) [2014] EWCA Civ 1625

Appeal by mother following care and placement orders made in respect of her daughter on the basis that the judgment did not take a ‘global, holistic’ approach, as required by Re B-S, the judge had relied too much on a finding that the mother was dishonest, the judge’s exercise of discretion was wrong, and the decision was in breach of the Human Rights Act. Appeal dismissed. Consideration by the President of the wider implications of the Re B-S case and the post-Re B-S 'landscape'.
