| UKSC/2025/0193 In the matter of R (A Child) | Refused 28-Nov-25 | Lord Reed, Lord Hodge and Lord Stephens have considered this application by R’s parents for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court. The Justices have scrutinised with care the reasoning of the judge, Mr Justice Hayden, and of the Court of Appeal, and have carefully considered the submissions in relation to this application. The Justices have the greatest sympathy for R’s parents in the tragic circumstances that have befallen their family. The Justices entirely understand their distress, and respect their religious beliefs. It is nonetheless the Justices’ duty to apply the law. Mr Justice Hayden has granted an order declaring that R died at 16:45 hours on 4 November 2025. The Court of Appeal has refused leave to appeal against that order. It follows, under section 54(4) of the Access to Justice Act 1999, that this court has no jurisdiction to hear an appeal against Mr Justice Hayden’s order. The declaration that R has died is therefore final. Permission is sought to appeal against one aspect of an earlier order of the Court of Appeal, in which it dismissed a ground of appeal against an earlier order. The ground of appeal was based on the proposition that R should have been joined as a party to the proceedings. Before the Court of Appeal, it was agreed by those acting on behalf of R’s parents that the court had a discretion whether to join R as a party, as the relevant rules of procedure indicate. Rule 16.2(1) of the Family Procedure Rules 2010 provides: “(1) The court may make a child a party to proceedings if it considers it is in the best interests of the child to do so.” The Court of Appeal held that the judge was entitled to decide, in the exercise of his discretion, that it was not necessary to join R. The Court of Appeal set out its reasons for reaching that conclusion, including that it was unnecessary for the child to be joined in order for the relevant rights and interests to be fairly and properly addressed. Her parents were entitled to legal aid, and the court could seek additional assistance from CAFCASS as an advocate to the court if that were necessary. That decision is now challenged on the ground that the Court of Appeal erred in holding that the court had a discretion whether to make the child a party to the proceedings. It is argued that it was obligatory to make R a party. This is said to follow, in particular, from common law principles of natural justice, and from article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights. As we have explained, the fact that the court possessed a discretion whether to join the child as a party was conceded before the Court of Appeal. There was no contention that any legal principle, whether of domestic law or derived from the Convention, required a different result. It would be wholly exceptional for this court to grant permission to appeal against a decision on a point which was conceded before the court below. It would also be exceptional for this court to grant permission to appeal where the arguments to be advanced were not advanced before the court below. In addition, the outcome of any appeal in the present case could not alter the order declaring R to have died: as we have explained, this court has no jurisdiction to hear an appeal against that order. The proposed appeal would therefore be an essentially academic debate on a point of law, on which this court would not have the benefit of the views of the courts below. | |
