Subject: Guardian’s position statement

Dear Mr and Mrs Ferreira

Please find attached the Guardian’s position statement as directed in advance of the hearing listed on 28th February 2014.

The Guardian is becoming increasingly concerned by the tone of the current correspondence, and also by the fact that Mr Ferreira is now posting each and every item sent and received via email to his public blog. It is, in the Guardian’s view, not at all child focused, and does not assist the boys.

However, it now appears that all the evidence needed for that hearing has now been filed, save for the updated index and preliminary documents which will be circulated in due course. I cannot see that there are any further issues that need to be addressed in email correspondence between now and the next hearing, and therefore I do not propose to enter in to any further email correspondence save to serve the documents mentioned above and in case of an emergency.

Whilst it is a matter for you both whether or not you chose to send email correspondence in this time, I would urge you not to do so unless there is an emergency. The situation appears to be increasingly acrimonious, and the ongoing correspondence is doing little to assist.

If Mr Ferreira could confirm whether or not he proposes to attend the hearing on 28th February, in light of the fact that no contact will now be taking place on 27th February, that would assist.

I would also point out that if Mr Ferreira wishes to pursue his application to attend by video link as requested in his C2 application, then he will need to take this up with the Court. I would make it clear that if this is what Mr Ferreira is seeking, it is his responsibility to organise this with the Court staff.

Kind regards

Becky Butterfield
