In the first of a two-part NLJ series on fact-finding hearings, Sarah Hughes, partner, and Victoria Rylatt, senior associate, Anthony Gold, look at some of this year’s key cases. These cases have grappled with difficult issues but provide extremely useful guidance, the authors write.
Hughes and Rylatt also look at the president of the Family Division, Sir Andrew McFarlane’s guidance for judges and magistrates on fact-finding hearings and domestic abuse in private law children’s proceedings.
Part one of the series looks at case management issues and the correct approach towards fact-finding hearings. Part two will examine specific issues arising in recent fact-finding hearings, namely the use of intimate images, publication and disclosure.
