Rebekah Wilson appeared in these High Court proceedings in this important case where Mr Justice Macdonald dealt with the first question in any family proceedings.
In every case that comes before the court, the first question is whether the court has the authority to grant the orders that the applicant seeks. In short, does the court have jurisdiction? In this case, regrettably, it is only now that this question is being addressed, some thirty-six weeks into proceedings under Part IV of the Children Act 1989 (hereafter “the 1989 Act”) that have a statutory time limit of twenty-six weeks.
Rebekah was instructed by Francesc Clay of Sternberg Reed
