The Family Procedure Rules (FPR) have changed. In this week’s NLJ, David Emmerson, partner at Anthony Gold, takes a detailed look at the new rulebook, particularly the powers granted by Pt 3 on case management and the use of non-court dispute resolution procedures.

Emmerson writes: ‘The result is that anecdotally, there is evidence that there is greater use and referrals to mediation.’

He covers private financial dispute resolution and early neutral evaluations in depth, offering helpful advice along the way. Emmerson provides practical points to consider and sets out various advantages and restrictions of the procedures.
