Family transparency pilot extended

The family court transparency pilot has been extended to private law cases in a further 16 courts, allowing accredited media and legal bloggers to report on what they see and hear, subject to strict rules on anonymity

The Transparency Implementation Group Reporting Pilot (TIG) started at the family courts in Leeds, Cardiff and Carlisle in January 2023, and has been extended to include private law in those three courts, and public law in 16 more courts.

Sir Andrew McFarlane, President of the Family Division, said both private and public cases could now be reported ‘in almost half of all family courts’.
