M v F & Anor

Dr Charlotte Proudman (direct access) for the applicant Mr Patrick Gilmore (instructed by Bendles Solicitors) for the second respondent Mr F appeared in person Hearing dates: 20th February 2025 and 2nd April 2025 ____________________

i) Publish media articles about her experiences of the family court system and the domestic abuse she suffered at the hands of the father, using an alias; and

ii) Speak at events facilitated by organisations such as Cafcass, women's right groups and children's rights groups, using an alias.

It is noted at the outset that Ms M's position is that she would wish to preserve the confidentiality of both herself and the child, C, by using an alias, and thus does not seek permission to disclose the child's identity or her own.

Allied to these protected rights under Articles 10 and 8 of the Convention for an individual to impart information about his or her private and family life, without interference by a public authority, is the fundamental right of others to receive such information, again without such interference.
