Re LG (A Child) [2015] EWFC 52, [2015] All ER (D) 257 (Jun)

In circumstances where the child’s paternal family sought leave to challenge an adoption order under s 47(5) of the Adoption and Children Act 200, the Family Court held that as the court had to have regard to the ability and willingness of any of the child’s relatives to provide the child with a secure environment in which the child could develop, there were strong welfare reasons for granting the father leave to oppose the adoption application.
