Reporting Restrictions & Transparency in Financial Remedy Proceedings

Introduction

Fresh from Mostyn J’s judgment in Xanothopoulos v Rakshina and Peel J’s resultant guidance, this webinar will consider the issue of anonymity in financial remedy proceedings. As Mostyn J’s further judgment in XZ v YZ has demonstrated, family practitioners now need to be ready to make an application for a reporting restriction order at an early opportunity.

This webinar will look at the criteria the court applies and how to construct an application.
