Appeal arguing that a single joint expert should have been male rejected

byWiebke Morgan

This judgement was made in an appeal against a case management order in private law proceedings under the Children Act 1989 relating to a boy, (“A”), now aged 8. The order under appeal permitted the parties to instruct a named independent social worker to carry out an assessment to assist the court to determine issues relating to child arrangements and education. The expert named in the order is a woman. The appellant father proposed that the assessment should be carried out by a male social worker. He asserted that the order permitting the instruction of a female social worker was an infringement of his human rights.

 

The appeal was rejected. For details of the judgement see the link below.
