LNB NEWS: HMCTS issues guides for local authorities on family public law order applications

HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) has issued service guides for local authorities or their solicitors using MyHMCTS to make a family public law order application. 

Lexis®Library update: The guides cover assigning an external partner to manage an application, submitting and serving an application, uploading other documents, orders or bundles, adding other legal representatives or a secondary local authority and making an additional or placement application.

The MyHMCTS public law application online service may be used to apply for care orders and interim care orders, supervision orders and interim supervision orders, emergency protection orders and other orders under Part IV of the Children Act 1989.

Guidance has previously been issued for respondent legal representatives, see: How to respond to a family public law order application.
