NLJ this week: After the fact finding hearing…Pt 2 of a series

67446
In the second of a two-part series on fact finding hearings, family Lawyers Kim Beatson and Victoria Brown, of Anthony Gold, offer professional insight and explanation of what takes place after the hearing

They discuss appeals and recent relevant case law. They note that appeals against fact finding hearings are ‘notoriously difficult’. This year, however, two ‘extremely important judgments were handed down’ on such appeals. They explore these appeals and offer valuable practical advice and guidance for practitioners.
