Is it a downward dog? Is it a standing forward bend? Or is it just showing off?! 🧘‍♀️ 🤔 Happy weekend!

Does Two Tier Family Justice already exist given the lack of legal aid and therefore lack of access to justice for litigants? #2021KNdebate

Or does a system close to collapse and beleaguered by delay cry out for another route for those litigants that can afford and want to resolve their disputes through private ADR? #2021KNdebate

More cases heard in the “private sector” = less cases heard and points decided by Judges in court = less authorities and development of the law #2021KNdebate

Do the public need to know the surnames of the parties and do journalists need to see parties’ Forms E (plus attachments) in order for transparency to be achieved in the Family Court? #2021KNdebate

Publication day for this important report which looks for a better way forward for families accessing justice in private law children matters. Delighted to have been on one of the sub-committees that contributed to this vital work.

The Kingsley Napley Family acted for the father in this case with Sophie Connors of 4PB and Charlotte Hartley of 1KBW Chambers. The parents arbitrated and the mother challenged the decision. GvG followed and the arbitration was upheld.

Interesting judgment on domicile in parental order application, focussing on the importance of putting your case on domicile AND producing the evidence to support it. Domicile is one of the statutory criteria applicant(s) must meet and can’t be ‘fudged’ on a welfare basis
