Family Court Transparency

27 April 2009

As of today the family courts open their doors to journalists, allowing media the right to attend all divorce court hearings whether they concern disputes about money or children.

  • Timesonline - Mark Harper and Peter Burgess assess the impact of the new rules
  • The Lawyer - Lisa Fabian Lustigman discusses the implications and raises her concerns

Additional commentary:

  • Timesonline - Tomorrow, divorce becomes a spectator blood sport
  • Timesonline - Open divorce courts will lead warring spouses to 'blackmail'
