Applying s11 (welfare paramount) and s10 of the Guardianship of Infants Act 1961, the court found the child's welfare required removal of the testamentary guardian and appointment of the biological father as sole guardian of the person because the plaintiffs offered better financial resources, a stable home, supportive social welfare reports, evidence of willingness by the Second Plaintiff to care for the child, the defendant had obstructed access and parties could not act jointly; the existing ex parte order did not immunize the defendant from removal under s10 when welfare required change.
