Re B (A Child: Uncertain Perpetrator) [2026] EWCA Civ 1024

The Court of Appeal allowed an appeal by the mother and set aside a ‘pool finding’ that there was a real possibility that the mother was responsible for inflicting three areas of bruising on her son. It held that a rehearing was unnecessary, as the only proper conclusion was that it was more likely than not that the bruising injuries were caused by the intervenor.
