The father applying for contact had had very little contact with his children for seven years.
Held: In a case involving persistent opposition by a mother to co-operation with a court in allowing contact, the case should be transferred to the High Court. Where a mother failed to co-operate with family therapy, it may lead to adverse inferences against her in the proceedings.
