The Court of Appeal upheld the District Court's decision to appoint a support person for the child in a parental responsibility dispute. The parents contested the appointment, arguing it violated their autonomy, while the court emphasized the child's best interests as the primary legal standard. Consequently, the lower court's ruling was confirmed to ensure adequate representation for the minor during proceedings.
