Book Description
How far does a client's or a child's confidentiality extend on family breakdown? Understand the fundamental importance of legal privilege, privacy and confidentiality in family breakdown and in family court proceedings. Looking at the duties of confidentiality of all practitioners involved in family proceedings, this title puts privilege, privacy and confidentiality in its common law context. It considers and contrasts that family proceedings are almost always heard 'in private'; and explains how this rule sits with common law principles. It singles out the particular issues in care proceedings where there are parallel criminal proceedings and explains the differences in law and on statutory guidance between the duties of confidentiality between lawyers, doctors and social workers. This new title helps you tackle questions such as: Is a child entitled to confidentiality; or is it correct, as Working Together guidance says, that the mature child's confidences should be 'shared'? When can privilege be overridden; and when does it not apply? Does without prejudice immunity cover a mediator? When are closed materials procedures appropriate in children proceedings?

Open Justice
Author: Joseph Jaconelli
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780198252580
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
It has long been a fundamental norm of civilized legal systems that the administration of justice is conducted in full view of the public. This is regarded as particularly important in criminal cases, where the accused is traditionally viewed as possessing the right to a public trial. The rise of the modern media, especially television, has created the possibility of a global audience for high profile cases. Increasingly, however, it is seen that the open conduct of legal proceedings is prejudicial to important values such as the privacy of parties, rehabilitative considerations, national security, commercial secrecy, and the need to safeguard witnesses and jurors from intimidation. In this topical new study, Joseph Jaconelli explores these issues and offers a critical examination, in the context of English law, of the values served by open justice and the tensions that exist between it and other important interests.

Family Justice
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Constitutional Affairs Committee
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780215029201
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
Following on from an earlier report by the Committee on child contact issues (HCP 116-I, session 2004-05; ISBN 0215022424) published in March 2005, and in light of the publication of the Children and Adoption Bill (HLB 10, session 2005-06, ISBN 0108421392) in November 2005, the Committee's report examines recent developments on the workings of the family justice system. Conclusions reached include: i) support for the Government's decision to issue a consultation paper on options for improving transparency in the family court, for example by allowing press and public access under appropriate reporting restrictions and subject to the judge's discretion; and ii) without the element of compulsion, projects such as the Family Resolutions Pilot scheme (which seek to move away from an adversarial court approach towards improved access to mediation to resolve complex family disputes) are likely to fail.
