In re L and another (Children) (Preliminary Finding: Power to Reverse) [2013] UKSC 8; [2013] WLR (D) 69

“Contrary to the practice previously adopted, a judge’s power to reverse his or her decision at any time before the court order had been sealed was not reserved for exceptional circumstances. A carefully considered change of mind by the judge was permisssible in the interests of the overriding objective of dealing with a case justly.”
