On balance of evidence and guided by the paramountcy of the child's welfare, the judge found that returning the infant to the full-time care of her mother best served the child's interests despite the social welfare recommendation favouring status quo; the mother's capacity, willingness and suitable home outweighed risks of changing carers at this age.
