Davey and Drewry (Child support)

The case of Davey and Drewry concerned a dispute over the percentage of care for a child, brought before the court for review. The applicant sought to set aside a previous decision regarding the child support assessment.

The central legal issue before the court was whether there had been a change to the likely pattern of care for the child. This determination was crucial for reassessing the child support obligations of the parties.

The court considered the evidence presented regarding the care arrangements and applied the relevant provisions of the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988*. The Senior Member found that the evidence established a change in the likely pattern of care. Consequently, the court set aside the previous decision and substituted its own determination.
