Comment
Nathan Baylis, instructed by Irena Osborne of Boardman, Hawkins & Osborne LLP, represented the applicant father in the recent case of F v M [2025] EWFC 38 (B).
HHJ Owens described the proceedings as:
“… a very unusual case because, despite a profound lack of engagement in both the proceedings and in much of the professional involvement with this family by M, it has reached an outcome that is one the children want, and which enables them to continue to spend time with M when appropriate for them. It is greatly to the credit of all concerned, and that includes both M and F, that this is the outcome, and I hope that the ending of proceedings will enable A and B to move on and continue to thrive in the care of F.”
This case highlights that even in the face of non-engagement and non-compliance from one party, positive outcomes can be achieved.
