Introduction
This was a combined judgment on three cases. Lucy acted for the Mothers in each of Re B and Re C which were two unrelated sets of private law Children Act proceedings in which the mothers each made an allegation of rape against the relevant father, who were in both cases unable to obtain legal representation as a result of LASPO 2012.
