It will occasionally be proper for the court to grant a parent leave to apply to revoke a placement order under section 24(2)(a) of the 2002 Act 2002 notwithstanding the absence at present of any real prospect that a court would find it to be in the interests of the child to return to live with the parent. The test was whether, in all the circumstances, including the parents’ prospects of securing revocation and the child’s interests, leave should be given.
