Family proceedings – Orders in family proceedings. The mother appealed against: (i) an order under s 91(14) of the Children Act 1989, prohibiting her from making any further applications without the court's permission until August 2018; and (ii) an order that the father was to make the children available to receive indirect contact from her on a fortnightly basis. The Court of Appeal, Civil Division, in dismissing the appeal, held that it could not be shown that the judge had been wrong in his conclusion as to contact. He had also been right in concluding that the children needed the protection of the permission filter in relation to any applications the mother might consider making under any provision of the Act for a substantial period of time.
