FAS v Secretary of State for the Home Department and another [2015] EWCA Civ 951, [2015] All ER (D) 42 (Oct)
An application for the adoption of an 18 year old Pakistani national had been refused. The Court of Appeal dismissed the prospective adopter’s appeal as the judge had erred in his interpretation of s 1(2) of the Adoption and Children Act 2002 and in his assumption that, under s 1(5) of the British Nationality Act 1981, the adoptee would automatically assume British citizenship.
