The Court of Appeal overturned the District Court's decision mandating a child interview in a parental responsibility dispute. The lower court had ordered the interview based on standard procedure, but the appellant argued it violated the child's right to privacy and was unnecessary given the specific circumstances. The appellate court agreed, ruling that the lower court failed to demonstrate sufficient grounds for the interview and thus dismissed the requirement.
