Abstract

Back in September 2017, one of the present authors wrote about the High Court’s relocation appeal decision in F v L (Permission to Relocate: Appeal) [2017] EWHC 1377 (Fam), [2018] FLR (forthcoming), arguing that the case did not sit easily with established authorities in a number of respects (R George, ‘Relocation: A Spanner in the Holistic Analysis?’ [2017] Fam Law 1002). By coincidence, while that article was in press, an application through the Bar Pro Bono Unit came our way from the father in that case, who had successfully opposed the relocation in the Family Court but then lost on appeal in the High Court. He was seeking advice and representation for a second appeal to the Court of Appeal. Permission to appeal was granted by Macur LJ in September and the case came on for hearing in the Court of Appeal before Peter Jackson, Newey and Singh LJJ on 7 December 2017. Judgment was handed down a couple of weeks later, allowing the appeal and restoring the trial judge’s decision: Re L (Relocation: Second Appeal) [2017] EWCA Civ 2121, [2018] FLR (forthcoming).
