THE NEW EDITION ON FINANCIAL REMEDIES IN FAMILY LAW CASES ARRIVES AT AN IMPORTANT JUNCTION FOR PROCEEDINGS IN THE 2020s
An appreciation by Elizabeth Robson Taylor MA of Richmond Green Chambers as well as Phillip Taylor MBE, Head of Chambers, Reviews Editor, “The Barrister”, as well as Mediator
When the initial edition of the “Financial Remedies Handbook” from LexisNexis was released in 1998, Thorpe LJ created in the Foreword regarding “supplementary alleviation”, mentioning with self-confidence “that significant changes in law and method are unavoidable”. Fast forward to 2022 and experts will certainly see a new landscape emerging after the Covid 19 pandemic.
We invite the new thirteenth edition composed by Roger Bird as well as Sophie Harrison. Do read the Preface which mentions that “over the in 2015 the lives of every person have been overshadowed by the Coronavirus … as well as household attorneys have not escaped these bad luck”.
None of us require advising of the problems associated with dealing and also interviewing clients with other parties whilst functioning from house, “still much less” claim the authors “of presenting a case to the court using the Cloud Video Platform (CVP).” This statement neatly summarizes why this publication is so vital for 2022 onwards as the courts open once more (we really hope).
The writers comment that “the concern on judges as well as the courts has actually been just as exacting” (they are both courts), so “one can only wish that some degree of normality will certainly return in the near future”. Because of this alone, the handbook is a concern purchase currently.
We do obtain helpful updates from the higher courts that have generated “their typical series of intriguing points” that makes regulation such a terrific location to practice in. The Financial Remedies Court has actually currently been developed with words of care. Bird remarks that “Government initiatives have been kept in mind by their absence which is not unexpected offered the pandemic and also the Parliamentary paralysis triggered by Brexit” (a great little blame below). The Domestic Abuse Act is currently on the statute publication so we will see just how much result it carries all facets of household law.
There are 24 phases in the 500 odd pages, and also a considerable appendix of regulation beginning with web page 327. There is a most useful index at the back which utilizes paragraph numbering instead of page numbers. The “Financial Remedies Handbook” remains a basic purchase for the family members practitioner made also more of a priority with the brand-new court system once it removes. Our thanks are because of the exceptional job right here of Roger Bird as well as Sophie Harrison putting the new edition with each other. Well done, during this twilight period of the pandemic!
