Published Judgment: Sexual Abuse Findings Secured by Gaynor Hall and Francesca Steels.
Gaynor Hall recently acted on behalf of the Local Authority and successfully secured findings of sexual abuse following a fully contested fact-finding hearing. This outcome reflects the strength and clarity of the evidence presented, as well as Gaynor’s thorough and sensitive approach to a highly complex and emotive set of issues.
Francesca Steels represented the Children’s Guardian, whose position aligned with and supported the Local Authority throughout the proceedings. Her analysis and advocacy played an important role in ensuring the child’s welfare remained at the centre of the court’s consideration.
