Serving Parents in Adoption - Is It Necessary?
Adoption Procedure - Serving ParentsIn re F(Minors)(Adoption: Natural Parents) [2006] EWCA Civ 1345
CA
17 October 2006
Daily Law Notes SummaryWhen proceedings for adoption were brought under the Adoption and
Children Act 2002 in respect of a child who had been freed for
adoption under the Adoption Act 1976, the court should follow the
procedure laid down in the 1976 Act unless any provisions of the
2002 Act or the Family Procedure (Adoption) Rules 2005 required
it to do otherwise. Thus there was no requirement for the court
to give notice of the proceedings to a child’s birth parents.
