Welcome to the latest edition of the Briefing from the Family Team at Deka Chambers. We are delighted to welcome Nerys Wyn Rees to the Family Team.
Nerys joined Deka Chambers in August 2024 and kicks off our Autumn edition of the Briefing with a review of the new policy on domestic abuse published by CAFCASS on 9 October 2024. This policy is essential reading for all family practitioners dealing with private and public law cases where allegations of domestic abuse are raised and where the court is invited to consider the impact of those allegations on the spending time arrangements for the subject children.
Lucy Lodewyke then takes a critical look at two recent Court of Appeal cases where the key issues were a lack of analysis and exploration in the judgment and too narrow of an approach taken to the core legal tests to be applied.
