Authors:	Wall, Nicholas
Keywords:	Homicide;Family law
Year:	2006
Publisher:	Judicial Communications Office
Notes:	General Overview: :This UK report is a response from the judiciary to criticisms of judges who made contact orders in favour of fathers who then killed their children. Discussion: :Nicholas Wall, a Lord Justice of Appeal, examined the files in five cases involving eleven children. The children had been the subjects of court proceedings where contact orders were made allowing contact with their fathers. The children were subsequently killed. He concludes that with regard to three of the families, the parental actions could not reasonably have been foreseen or prevented by the court. Regarding the remaining three, he concedes that perhaps the court should not have made the consent orders sought. He rejects any suggestion that the judges are responsible or accountable for the deaths of the children.
