Associated legal terms
Adopted child
An adopted child is a child whose legal parent‑child relationship with their birth parents has been permanently replaced by a legal relationship with adoptive parent(s) through a court order. In practice, the adopted child is treated in law as the child of the adopter(s) for most purposes, including parental responsibility, day‑to‑day decision‑making, inheritance and many family law rights and obligations.
In England and Wales and Northern Ireland, the concept is primarily governed by the Adoption and Children Act 2002 and the Adoption (Northern Ireland) Order 1987. In Scotland, the key legislation is the Adoption and Children (Scotland) Act 2007. In Ireland, it is governed by the Adoption Act 2010. Across all these jurisdictions, adoption generally extinguishes parental rights and responsibilities of the birth parents (subject to limited exceptions, for example in succession or citizenship contexts) and confers them on the adopters.
The term “adopted child” is widely used in family law, education, health, immigration and succession work to distinguish the child’s legal status and to determine who holds parental responsibility, decision‑making authority and rights to financial provision or inheritance.
Maladministration
Something that happened in connection with action taken by or on behalf of one of the authorities subject to investigation, being action taken in the exercise of administrative functions of that authority which caused injustice to a member of the public.
