The President of the Family Division, Sir Andrew McFarlane announced the commencement of a rapid consultation (Ends 28 April!) on the use of remote hearings in the Family Justice system.
This research project will be carried out by Nuffield Family Justice Observatory which will seek to gather evidence from those who have had experience of a remote hearing and/or those with expertise or other relevant experience including families with children and all professionals working in the family justice system.
The consultation will run until 28 April, enabling the President to receive a summary of the responses by end April, with a view to issuing guidance in early May.
