Head of Family Alex Davies quoted in The Times on Supreme Court ruling in parental abduction cases
Head of Family Alex Davies has been quoted in a The Times article examining a recent Supreme Court ruling which confirmed that older children’s views should be taken into account in international parental abduction proceedings

Alex commented on the significance of the ruling, noting that it “strikes an important balance” by recognising that mature children should be heard in proceedings that profoundly affect their lives, while preserving the court’s role as the final decision-maker.
