Cases

Clayton v Clayton

Comment

An important decision, particularly within the context of the debate about whether there should be further openness in the Family Division. The court ruled that from now on judges should consider at the conclusion of Children Act proceedings (concerning such matters as custody and adoption) whether there were grounds for preventing reporting of the case and identification of the children involved. It is no longer automatically to be assumed that reporting of such cases could not take place.
