A Canberra mother who forcibly removed her daughter from her grandmother's house did not commit an assault, an appeal court has found.
The finding comes after a difficult but "significant" question was raised in the ACT Supreme Court late last year: when does a mother's use of force on her child become an assault, and when is it lawfully justified?
