Abstract
The Court of Appeal's decision in Re B-S re-states the test for leave to oppose adoption. Its implications extend further, asserting the court's role in setting standards for social work, encouraging challenge to local authority practice, and potentially making it harder to complete care proceedings in 26 weeks.
