A mother appealed against an order for her imprisonment for contempt in refusing to obey an order to make a child available for contact. The prison would be unable to accept her other child, a baby at short notice, and application was on the basis of that child’s human right to be with his mother.
Held: The appeal was allowed, and a further hearing date set.
