In re S (a child) (Care proceedings: Contact): FD 5 Jul 2005

The one month old baby had been taken into the care of the local authority. The authority appealed the extent of contact with the baby.
Held: The appeal failed. It was not wholly improper to allow for the practicalities of arranging such contact, including the financial resources available to meet them. The order was to run only for a few weeks before review, and was not outside the range of proper orders.
