    Citation
    [2018] HKCFI 1381
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP929/2017

    The court ordered that the ward be permitted to receive treatment at the YMT Child Service while continuing private treatment because it was in the child's best interests to secure a public medical safety net; the Mother was ordered to produce original documents to enable the appointment and parents were ordered to accompany the child but not be present during treatment; these measures balanced continuity of care with access to public services and enforced compliance with prior directions.

    RWS v. KCC

    Citation
    RWS v. KCC
    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMC9661/2010

    Given the parties’ entrenched disagreements and the children’s needs (particularly C’s developmental issues), custody was vested solely in the mother to provide clear ultimate decision‑making while imposing an obligation to consult the father; practical shared care/time‑sharing arrangements (echoing parallel parenting) were ordered with detailed schedules and a medical decision in favour of medication for C was directed nisi (mother may implement Epilim subject to six‑week challenge period).
