UK: Press Complaints Commission (PCC) upholds complaint against "Woman" magazine following custody battle story

Link here. Excerpt:

'The Press Complaints Commission has upheld a complaint against Woman under Clause 1 (Accuracy) of the Editors' Code of Practice after a first-person story it published about a custody battle was disputed by the former husband of the woman who had told her story.

The article was an account of the couple's custody dispute of their son, focusing particularly on the mother's decision to take the child from Cyprus to the UK without the complainant's consent. He contested a number of claims she had made, most notably that the child was taken to the UK because he needed medical care that was not available in Cyprus. He had not been contacted by the magazine before publication. The magazine said this was because he had not been accused of any wrong doing; however, in order to check the veracity of the piece, it had checked the text with the complainant's former mother-in-law to before going to print.'
