Re N-S (Children) [2017] EWCA Civ 1121

Appeal, in care proceedings concerning seven children, essentially, raising two related questions: (i) what is the extent of a judge's responsibility to provide reasons in support of orders made at the conclusion of public law children proceedings; and (ii) where there has been a failure to give reasons, but there can be no challenge on appeal to the substantive orders made, what steps, if any, should the appellate court take to redress the lack of adequate reasons.
