A County Council v A mother and others [2011] EWHC 1267 (Fam), [2011] All ER (D) 95 (Jun)
It was settled law that the general proposition that the court would make no order as to costs in care proceedings also applied to proceedings to which a local authority was a party. However, the proposition was not applied where, for example, the conduct of a party had been reprehensible or the party’s stance had been beyond the band of what had been reasonable.
