Two-stage decision process for judges
In re P (A Child) (Adoption proceedings)
Court of Appeal
“Judges hearing applications by parents for leave to defend adoption proceedings after a placement order had been made had to undertake a two-stage process: first, decide whether there had been sufficient change of circumstance; then consider what the welfare of the child required.”
