Amanda Meusz of the Garden Court Family Law Team acted for the child, A, instructed by Elizabeth Beckett of GT Stewart Solicitors.
Amanda Meusz acted for the child, A, whose mother was tragically killed by her partner, also A’s father.
Following the killing, A’s maternal grandmother, applied for a court order for A to live with her, prohibited steps order, a change of name order and s91(14) orders. The father’s parental responsibility was revoked, as the Court found that his continued involvement would have a “significant and damaging impact” on the child’s grandmother and, consequently, on A’s welfare.
The criminal case had attracted extensive local and national media coverage. A wide-ranging transparency order was also made, unusually identifying the grandmother and the father.
