This is an area in which the stakes are high for all parties involved, so a full understanding of how the courts have interpreted section 38(6) and the current scope of the provision is essential. Further it will consider whether the current position is compliant with Article 6 of the ECHR?

- Have considered how section 38(6) was first interpreted in the case of Re C [1997] 1 FLR 1;

- Appreciate how the Article 6 argument was first articulated in Re L and H [2007] 1 FLR 1370;
