‘Mrs S is the maternal aunt of three children E, born in 1992; S, born in 1993 and T born in 1997 to her sister, who sadly has a history of mental illness. The only issue that I have to review this morning is the management of an application which she made for leave to apply under the Children Act 1998 for orders in respect of residence and/or contact. That leave was necessary because she falls without that band of persons who have a right of application by statute. ‘
