Family proceedings

Re S (Children) (Care proceedings: Proper evidence for placement order) [2015] UKSC 20, [2015] All ER (D) 264 (Mar)

The Supreme Court held that none of the exceptions to the general approach applicable to awards of costs in children’s cases as set out in Re T (Children) [2012] 4 All ER 1137 applied in the present case. Accordingly, an order for costs made in the Court of Appeal, Civil Division, against the respondent local authority would be set aside.
