Family Court system recovery
The family courts started to hear more cases remotely as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic about a year ago.
This measure enabled us to keep people safe whilst continuing to administer justice in the family courts.
The Lord Chief Justice said:
‘With more people attending court everyone must continue to follow the guidance on social distancing, hand sanitising, the wearing of face coverings and any local arrangements. This will ensure that as restrictions are eased, the administration of justice continues to be delivered safely.’
