The Court of Appeal allowed an appeal brought by the Local Authority where the first instance Judge refused to make the findings sought by the local authority and find that threshold is not crossed. The Court of Appeal provide helpful guidance on how to approach the reports of experts where a report is challenged but the expert is not called at final hearing.
