B (A Child)
Wednesday 29 July 2026
By an Appellant’s Notice filed on 19 June 2026 the Appellant appeals a decision of the Family Court dated 29 May 2026.
The fact-finding hearing concerned a series of serious injuries sustained by the child between late 2024 and early 2025. During this period the Appellant had been in a relationship with an individual who was discharged as an Intervenor to proceedings.
The judge found that the Intervenor was responsible for all of the fractures and almost all of the bruising injuries. However, in relation to three specific bruising findings, the judge concluded that while there was a real possibility that Intervenor had caused the injuries, there was also a possibility that the Appellant had done so. The Appellant therefore appeals three of the 52 findings made by the judge.
