Case spanning 13 years is 'longest case' in history, judge says

According to the Telegraph,  Mr Justice Moylan has described a case in which he recently made an order as the longest-running case in history, at over 13 years.  Although it is a family case, it's something that every observer of the legal scene will find interesting: and many observers will, perhaps, find unsurprising. The facts of the case, which involve parental access, do explain how a matter can have gone on for so long, as the unfortunate child has grown from a baby to a teenager whose wishes must be taken into account, even determine the outcome of the matter.
