The increase in family work has placed “great strains” on family judges at all levels, according to the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Judge.
His report, “Review of the Administration of Justice in the Courts”, published in February, identifies matters of importance to the judiciary and the administration of justice which arose during the 2008–09 Legal Year.
The report warns that: “As a result of the limited resources and mounting delays of Cafcass upon whose work the family courts are reliant in both public and private law children proceedings, delays in the dispatch of family business are inevitably increasing and represent cause for concern. Despite the production of the President’s Interim Guidance in an effort to assist this problem, this trend seems unlikely to be reversed.”
