Re X (A Child) (No 3) [2016] EWHC 2755 (Fam)

Care proceedings: re-hearing of a fact finding hearing where the parents sought to withdraw from the re-hearing. Munby P decided the re-hearing could and should proceed, and a proper challenge to the witnesses could properly be undertaken by counsel instructed by the guardian which did not, in the unusual circumstances of this case, compromise the guardian’s neutrality.
