Abstract

Financial remedies (or money) work has a curious status in the family court. Children cases in the family court are subject to a careful allocation and gate-keeping procedure, following detailed guidance from the President of the Family Division to determine whether the case should be heard at Lay Justice, District Judge, Circuit Judge or High Court Judge level. The existence of this guidance sensibly recognises that children cases come with a wide range of difficulty and complexity and that the family court should accommodate this in its allocation of judicial resources. A ticketing scheme for private and public children cases is carefully administered to ensure that any judge hearing a children case is appropriately experienced and trained by the Judicial College.
