IN THE MATTER OF L AND L1 (ARTICLE 179(14) OF THE CHILDREN
(NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1995)

[1] This judgment is being distributed on the strict understanding that in
any report no person other than the advocates or the solicitors instructing
them (and other persons identified by name in the judgment itself ) may be
identified by name or location and that in particular the anonymity of the
children and the adult members of the family must be strictly preserved
[2] This matter arises out an appeal against a decision made by the Care
Centre judge sitting at the Family Care Centre at Craigavon on 9 May 2003.
The appeal is confined to one matter. The judge had made an order
permitting the father of the children L and L1 (now aged 9 and 12)
unsupervised contact each Saturday from 11.00 am to 2.00 pm and such other
contact as could be agreed between the parties. That was not the subject of
appeal. However in addition the judge made a further order in the following
terms:
“Order granted under Article 179(14) of the Children
(Northern Ireland) Order 1995. No further
applications to be made within 12 months without
leave of the court.”
This is the subject of the appeal now before me.
