LLBC v TG

LLBC v TG

The without notice orders requiring TG's placement in a care home were not justified based on the evidence presented; most key allegations by the local authority were unsubstantiated or inaccurate. However, a period of residential care may have been justified following an on-notice hearing due to the lack of prior assessment and the confrontational relationship between the family and professionals. No breach of ECHR Articles 5, 6, or 8 was established. TG's best interests are served by remaining in the care of JG and KR, with oversight by the relevant local authority.
