Family law

A (A Minor: Proceeding in the absence of a party: Application to set aside) (No. 2), Re

Father’s application to set aside under r.27.5 FPR10 fails because no judgment or order was made against him in his absence; reopening the fact-finding hearing is not applicable as no findings have been made; fairness and justice require father and his mother be permitted to give oral evidence, but recalling mother or officer is unnecessary and disproportionate given their vulnerabilities and potential harm.
