With great power… – St Ives Chambers
‘On 22 April 2014, the “Single” Family Court sprang into being. For those who did not practise in the predecessors, it is probably almost impossible to fathom that family justice was so clearly delineated into three separate courts, each with its own powers, approaches and, dare we say, own quirks. Indeed, prior to 2010, there were entirely separate procedural codes between the High Court/county court on the one hand and the Family Proceedings Court on the other. For those of us who have difficulty remembering one set of rules, having to remember two seemed a little unfair.’
