Details

An invaluable companion for all practitioners involved in private law proceedings under the Children Act 1989

Children Act Private Law Proceedings: A Handbook is an invaluable companion for all practitioners involved in private law proceedings under the Children Act 1989. It provides both a detailed, widely researched analysis of substantive law and a clear guide to the relevant procedure.

This new edition has been thoroughly revised throughout and takes account of all recent case-law and important procedural developments, such as the introduction of the revised Private Law Programme. The contents have been recognised to provide a separate chapter on the implications of domestic violence for residence and contact. The introductory chapter has been completely rewritten in order to examine the changing nature of the family and its impact on private law proceedings.

The extensive text is supplemented by fully updated appendices containing essential statutory and other materials.

Reviews

"not only does it introduce Private Law relating to children, it also provides easy access to summaries of the law and also to policy reports, articles and research....these materials are not always found in standard practice books....thoroughly researched and logically organised, this new third edition, updated throughout makes reference to all recent case law and other important developments....25 chapters cover the full spectrum of issues, from child law and human rights...and childrens wishes and feelings through to parental responsibility, contact, expert evidence and trial....almost 100 pages in length, this is an indispensible work of reference which also should certainly find its way to the library of every family law practitioner and other professionals involed in family law"

Phillip Taylor MBE and ELizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
