- Court of Appeal
Although the 'subsequent child' provisions did not apply, the Family Court judge's reasoning, read as a whole and supported by the social worker's evidence of parental mental health, criminal history, transience and substance use, provided an adequate basis under s14(1)(a),(b),(f) to make the s78 interim custody order; habeas corpus was not the correct remedy for collateral factual challenges and the appeal is dismissed.
