MRS JUSTICE JUDD:
Background
The hearing below
The judgment
The appeal
"The learned judge may have been wrong to reach concluded views as to the progression of contact as set out in para.12 of her order on a basis which flowed from either conviction or not at the conclusion of the criminal investigation such that it was appropriate to make a final order for contact. Taken together with the requirements of Practice Direction 12J in respect of which permission to appeal on ground 6 has been granted, these aspects warrant consideration by the judge hearing the appeal".
