The High Court dismissed the appeal, holding that the Family Court properly proceeded to a substantive hearing, that the variation (allowing contact as agreed between the child and her parents) appropriately respected the 13½‑year‑old's views and autonomy and should be read in light of parties' assurances, and that requiring leave for further parenting applications was a proper protective measure to prevent undue litigation affecting the children.
