Litigation Letter
Judge entitled to change her mind
In re L and another (Children) (Preliminary Finding: Power to Reverse) Supreme Court, TLR, 27 February
In the judge’s first, “preliminary outline judgment” (which the Court of Appeal had restored) in a fact finding hearing in
interim care proceedings, the judge had found that the father of two children, L and B had caused an injury to B. In a second,
“perfected” judgment the judge held that, on further reflection, she was unable to determine which parent had injured B, albeit
that one of them had.
