Adoption
A local authority v Mother and others [2020] EWHC 832 (Fam), [2020] All ER (D) 66 (Apr)
A local authority was granted a final injunction preventing the respondent biological parents of a child (X) from disseminating information about her prospective adopters, and to prevent them from approaching those adopters. The application was heard over the telephone given the national emergency relating to Covid-19. The Family Division held that there was nothing barring it from making the order sought, even though the application for leave to apply for it had been made orally. The court further held that the injunction was justified, both because of the risk to X, and the risk to the prospective adopters, in circumstances where the biological parents had a history of publishing information about their children on the internet, and where they had been convicted of harassing the judge who had made the care and placement orders concerning X.
