Details

Reflects the revised Public Law Outline, generates best practice case management documents and provides synopses of the law for all the major applications.

The family courts dealing with public and private child law cases are inundated with work involving the generation of large amounts of paper. A file which focuses on material relevant to judicial decision-making would assist in this process. For example, having to hand for each application, analysis of what the judicial hearing will actually require, with checklists and questionnaires etc specifying all the necessary information.

Child Case Management Practice seeks to fulfil this need by providing the following for each area of child law, where appropriate:

a succinct resume of the legal framework
a flowchart providing an overview of the relevant process from start to finish
a detailed consideration of what the court will actually require to achieve the result applied for (including a timetable to trial and the court's options/powers)
a checklist of all steps to trial
a template model order
a case digest

This new edition will also keep you abreast of the latest developments in law and practice. It is the definitive practical manual on the Public Law Outline, generates best practice case management documents and provides synopses of the law for all the major applications. It also presents core skeleton arguments at a glance and focuses on the Case Management record.
