ORDER by the Honourable Mr Justice Chamberlain
1. Pursuant to CPR 39.2(4), the Claimant shall be referred to in these proceedings as “HMA”. No-one may in any report of these proceedings disclose information like to identify the Claimant or her child.

4. The papers are to be referred to a judge or deputy judge of the Administrative Court on the papers for a decision on the application for interim relief immediately thereafter.
Reasons
The subject matter of this claim demands an urgent response. The claimant’s solicitors sent a letter before claim on 13 April 2022. There has been no substantive response. The directions sought properly allow a reasonable time for the defendant to respond. It is appropriate for the application for interim relief to be considered on the papers.
