In this week’s NLJ, solicitor advocate and NLJ columnist David Burrows looks at the case, EBK v DLO, and the surrounding issues.
Burrows writes: ‘This subject takes an unsuspecting parent into a variety of confusing (including for Mostyn J) and confused crosscurrents of law and procedural rules. As this article concludes, the twists demanded by the rules may justify parties to a case like EBK in seeking a declaration that the rules as they now stand are barely lawful.’
