“Where a child was conceived by a mother and a father by virtue of an agreement between them that the child would live with and be brought up in the care of the mother and her female partner as the primary care givers of the child, there could be no general rule in family proceedings that the biological father was to be regarded only as a ‘secondary’ parent or to have a limited relationship with the child. Each case was fact specific and the welfare of the child was paramount.”

“Analysis of an asylum seeker’s speech carried out by a private Swedish company was admissible in asylum proceedings although the analysts were allowed to remain anonymous and the presentation of the evidence did not comply in a number of respects with practice directions for the immigration and asylum chambers of the First-tier and Upper Tribunals. The Upper Tribunal had a broad discretion with regard to the control of the evidence before it and had, within its case management powers, the power to waive non-compliance with a practice direction or a rule. Its obligation was to ensure that any expert report represented a genuine, objective view by those qualified to express it with sufficient reasoning and clarity to enable it to be challenged and assessed.”
