Re P (children) (contact) [2008] EWCA Civ 1431, [2009] All ER (D) 55 (Jan)

The Court of Appeal will not interfere with a contact order unless the judge has erred so far that he has exceeded the generous ambit within which there is room for reasonable disagreement. However, contact should not be stopped unless it is the last resort for the judge.
