Financial Remedies Applications for Family Lawyers - Latest Guidance

Introduction

Financial remedies applications have been modernised as part of a £1bn investment to reform the courts and tribunals service, and both the law and procedure have changed significantly. Family judges are taking a firmer stance, with lawyers being warned that the court may regard practitioners’ non-compliance with Orders, Practice Directions and the Efficiency Statement as professional misconduct, leading to a report to their regulatory bodies. It can also result in costs orders. It is therefore imperative that you understand what is expected of us and comply with the rules.

This webinar will explore recent changes and guide you through the processes involved in financial remedies applications.
