}}</ref> This case is significant because the Court required that [[circumcision]] be deferred until the boys are mature enough to decide for themselves if they wish to be circumcised. Their [[genital autonomy]] and right to [[physical integrity ]] were protected.
The children in this case are two boys, aged 6 and 4. They have a 34-year-old English mother and a 36-year-old Algerian Muslim father. The parental relationship has broken down. This case addresses the arrangement for the care of the two boys.
This British court reached a similar to conclusion to that of the German Court at Cologne in the celebrated [[Cologne circumcision court judgment|German circumcision case]] of 2012.<ref>LG Köln, 07.05.2012 - 151 Ns 169/11.</ref>
