单词 | wardship |
释义 | wardship Circumstances in which wardship proceedings are useful include: • where parents refuse to consent to medical treatment and it is necessary to take long-term decisions about the child; • where third parties, such as the press, are intruding in a child’s life; • where a child is about to be kidnapped and removed from the jurisdiction. Wardship offers immediate and effective protection in such a case since the moment an application is made, the child becomes a ward of court, and hence can be stopped at a port or airport. The Children Act 1989 has restricted the use of wardship by local authorities and has considerably reduced the need for wardship in private law proceedings, since individual disputes about a child can frequently be settled by a specific issue order or a prohibited steps order. Cases: Re C (A Baby) [1996] 2 FLR 43 (CA); Re W (Wardship: Discharge: Publicity) [1995] 2 FLR 466 (CA); A v Liverpool CC [1982] AC 363 (HL). |
