The High Court has dismissed an application by a medical doctor to have his judicial review claim against the Children’s Authority proceed as undefended.

The authority was also given additional time to file its response in a challenge to the removal of the doctor’s two minor children from his care.

In a written decision delivered by Justice Robin Mohammed, the court also rejected the authority’s bid to strike out or stay the claim, clearing the way for the constitutional and administrative law challenge to proceed on its merits.
