Anita Guha KC led Lubeya Ramadhan in a successful appeal to the Court of Appeal, the judgment in which was handed down yesterday.
Having obtained permission to appeal on all grounds in a complex international children case where the children had been removed to this jurisdiction from Afghanistan, an application was pursued by the team to adduce fresh evidence in the case. The Court of Appeal set aside all the findings of fact made by the first instance judge and remitted the matter for a fresh hearing.
The Court of Appeal were persuaded that the Ladd v Marshall principles were satisfied in admitting the fresh evidence and that the Respondent’s opposition to the appeal, upon the grounds that it was said to be academic, should be overruled.
