Judi Evans, leading Olivia Pike, represented the Local Authority in the recent case of A Local Authority v T & Ors [2025] EWHC 334 (Fam), before Mrs Justice Lieven.
The case involved allegations of “FII”, Fabricated or Induced Illness, and whether the risk arising from the mother’s behaviour towards her older disabled daughter, transferred to the child’s younger sister.
The court found the Local Authority had proven its case on threshold as pleaded “in its entirety” and granted a care order in respect of the older child. In finding that there was a real risk of transference of the same type of behaviour towards the younger child, albeit that it would manifest in different ways, the court concluded that child should remain in the care of her father, with the mother’s parental responsibility restricted.
