Cumbria County Council v R [2019] EWHC 2782 (Fam)

MacDonald J’s judgment in a final hearing of care proceedings, in which he rejected a request by the mother to revisit earlier findings of non-accidental injury on the basis of a subsequent admission by the father. The judge further favoured an ICO, rather than a final care order or SGO, as the appropriate means to test a placement with the child’s grandparents.
