The Court of Appeal held the deputy judge properly exercised her discretion in awarding interim custody, care and control to the mother because the child's welfare was best served by placement with her natural parent; the social worker's recommendation favouring the grandmother did not outweigh the welfare principle, and there was no justification for ordering a clinical psychologist. The appeal was dismissed.
