This course will provide guidance on case management in family law cases involving actual or potential child abduction for family law solicitors or lawyers with an interest with the practical issues in this area. It is primarily aimed at practitioners with an intermediate level of knowledge and experience of the area.
In this podcast we interview Clare Renton, a barrister practising in family law in 29 Bedford Row Chambers. The interview covers the practical issues arising in case management of disputes where there is a risk of child abduction or where it has already occurred. There is an introduction to the statutory framework of the area and the relevant domestic and European provisions, including Brussels II Revised and the Hague Convention.
This podcast provides advice to solicitors dealing with matters of jurisdiction, prevention of abduction and remedies as well as the appropriate steps to take depending on which party you are acting for.
