Something that could be good or bad....
Social services must make their case for care within forty weeks or will be defaulted against if they cannot bring a good test of law.
If the judge has not been shown sufficent evidence to justify sufficient risk of harm at the time of the application then he should dismiss it.
Being a new rule it does mean however that the judiciary are slow on the uptake but it does curtail the several years that these cases can take.
Once the first hearing has been, the 40 week timer starts and the case cannot exceed that time limit.
