View from the President’s Chambers published

The President of the Family Division, Sir Andrew McFarlane, has published his latest View from the President's Chambers.

Sir Andrew reflects on:

• The pride that all persons involved in the delivery of Family Justice should feel for all that has been achieved during the past seven months
• The need to prioritise wellbeing in our individual and collective working lives amid the remorseless pressure from the increased volume of work
• Gratitude to all who assisted during the President's enforced absence from work
• The recently published report from the Nuffield Family Justice Observatory on Remote Hearings in the Family Justice System: September 2020
• Coping with increased demand in Public and Private Law children cases
• Conduct of business in the Court of Protection in recent months
• The Financial Remedies Court
• The report by the Family Solutions Group: Reframing Support for Families following Parental Separation
• Transparency
  • Family Drugs and Alcohol Court
• Enhancing the provision of experts for Family cases
• The work of the Family Justice Council in recent months in support of key judicial initiatives
• Involving the Official Solicitor
• Remembering the highly valued individuals the Family Law community has lost recently, including Anne-Marie Hutchinson OBE, QC (Hon), His Honour Glenn Brasse, Dr Julian Farrand QC (Hon), Sir Robert Johnson and Ian Griffin.
