This article discusses how the paramountcy of principle concept has developed where the interests of the child in care and protection issues have been considered in legal cases. Legal arguments in various cases illustrate how this principle has progressed. A discussion on the amendments to the appeal provisions of The Children, Young Persons and Their Families Act (1989, Part VI), the Guardianship Act (1968, Part 26), and the Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act (1988, Part 38) highlights how these amendments have improved access to the protective jurisdiction of the Family Court.
