Court of Appeal dismisses appeal of High Court orders arising from a dispute about the manner in which the appellant's mother is being medically treated, where he was ordered to remove video and other material on social media which concerned, pictured, and described his mother’s treatment, on the grounds that there was no basis for the appeals in circumstances where the appellant has not appealed the substantial determination, and his real complaint concerns the fate of his habeas corpus application, and the circumstances in which his mother was taken into Wardship.
Wardship – manner in which the appellant's mother is being treated in hospital or nursing home – publication by appellant of video and other material on social media which concerned, pictured, and described his mother’s treatment – Article 40 inquiry and the exercise of Wardship jurisdiction – appellant was brought before the court to answer the contempt allegation after he refused to take down material – there is no basis for these appeals – appellant has not appealed the substantial determination of Kelly P. as to Wardship – real complaint concerns the fate that his Article 40 application met with and the circumstances in which his mother was taken into Wardship – there is nothing in these appeals to give any ground for setting aside these orders.
