Re Child X (Residence and Contact - Rights of media attendance - FPR Rule 10.28(4))

Facts

The matter concerned ongoing proceedings about residence and contact in relation to X, the young daughter of the applicant father (a celebrity). The proceedings had hitherto been heard in private and the parties wished that position to continue. There were further concerns about the impact on the child expressed at a directions hearing in December 2008. However, pursuant to recent amendments to the Family Proceedings Rules 1991 by The Family Proceedings (Amendment No 2) Rules 2009, the media proposed to attend and report on future hearings in the case.
