Justice Minister Simon Hughes has set out figures for the number of Child Arrangement Order applications brought by grandparents in respect of grandchildren in the last three years. In an answer to a written parliamentary question the statistics were as follows:
The figures have resulted in criticism of the government for failing to ensure grandparents, and indeed any other family members, have all the information available to them to carefully consider how best to resolve issues around seeing children.
The figures have remained reasonably consistent in the last three years despite the government withdrawing legal aid for private law children applications in the majority of cases.
New Court Chambers has forged its reputation on a commitment to provide consistently high standards of advice, representation and clerking services.
An excellent set with talented practitioners.
A set with substantial strength in public and private children law matters, and the further capability to handle financial proceedings.
Well versed in highly sensitive matters involving non-accidental injury, child death, sexual abuse, FGM, fictitious illness and child trafficking.
The barristers at New Court Chambers distinguish themselves from others due to their hands-on handling of cases.
