Procedural Posture

Application for Permission to Appeal From District Court Decisions / Decision on Leave Applications (written)

  1. 1 Whether leave to appeal should be granted against district court orders on interim child maintenance
  2. 2 Whether the district judge erred in the exercise of discretion in assessing temporary needs and payment capacity
  3. 3 Whether permission to allow mother to take the child overseas was improperly granted without adequate safeguards against non-return

Ratio Decidendi

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant failed to show a reasonable prospect of success or other compelling reason: the lower judges lawfully and reasonably exercised their discretion in assessing interim maintenance and travel permission, made proportionate assessments of needs and ability to pay, and did not commit legal error warranting appellate intervention.
