Therapeutic Justice, Parental Responsibility, Variation of Access Orders: DDN v DDO
First view: [Sep 2024 Online] Sing JLS 1-9In DDN v DDO, the Appellate Division of the High Court explored how the notion of therapeutic justice applies in the context of a variation of access orders. This note reviews DDN v DDO and argues that the approach adopted by the Appellate Division of the High Court has much to commend it for recognising the need for flexibility when varying orders relating to children while at the same time reminding parents of the importance of parental responsibility and encouraging them to put in their best efforts to make adjustments to access orders by agreement in the spirit of therapeutic justice. - Case and Legislation Notes
