Law and Rights
The Judiciary has published a number of judgments in connection with the Ethan Williams case - they may be read on the public Judiciary website and should be read by those interested in the facts of this matter.
Ethan's mother, Rebecca Minnock, went into hiding with her son Ethan, after the Family Court in Bristol ordered that Ethan should live with his father, Roger Williams. The judgments, unlike most of the media coverage, give a balanced and nuanced view of this very difficult case, and show the family court?s skill in managing the unfortunate situation.
The case is in the Family Court before His Honour Judge Wildblood QC who is sitting as a judge of the High Court. An excellent discussion of the case may be read at Cambridge Family Law Practice.
