LORD JUSTICE McFARLANE: I will invite Moylan LJ to give the first judgment.
LORD JUSTICE MOYLAN:
"The judge will always be concerned to ask himself, "Is there some solid reason in the interests of the children why I should embark upon, or having embarked upon why I should continue, exploring the matters which one or the other of the parents seeks to raise?"'
In paragraph 18 he said, "It is pre-eminently a matter for the trial judge in a case of this sort to determine the form of procedure which will best meet the welfare needs of the children".
LORD JUSTICE McFARLANE:
