ABSTRACT
Apart from in the situations described above, the person who has parental responsibility may remove the child from local authority accommodation at any time and without giving notice. Where the local authority objects to the child being removed from their accommodation, the only remedy is to apply to the court for a care order or an emergency protection order, where of course, the grounds exist for making the application (see Nottinghamshire County Council v J (unreported, 26 November 1993) where the court decided that the local authority would be powerless to prevent the removal of the child from their accommodation without obtaining a court order).
