Opis

Established as a straight forward, easy-to-follow handbook of procedure, A Practical Guide to Family Proceedings is equally useful as an aide-memoire for the hard-pressed specialist or as an introduction for the less experienced. The book enables you to avoid the most common pitfalls encountered across the spectrum of family proceedings, thereby speeding up litigation and avoiding unnecessary work and wasted court orders. Previous editions of this book have been widely used in the Principal Registry of the Family Division, other district registries and county courts. Fully revised and updated, the sixth edition includes: - coverage of the changes to divorce proceedings brought about by the introduction of divorce centres (Crime and Courts Act 2013). This new practice will be explored and analysed with practical experience from the divorce centres being given.- a new chapter on vulnerable witnesses in ligh of Family Procedure (Amendment No. X) Rules 2015, Part 3A - Children and vulnerable persons: participation in proceedings and giving evidence.
