In the course of care proceedings, it had become apparent that the sole purpose in their continuance by the parents was not that the children were at any real or substantial risk of harm, but rather that their continuance influenced the parents’ ability to stay within the UK. There was no evidence of any risk to the children from being returned to their home country, and a continuance of the proceedings would be an abuse of process.
