LNB NEWS: Family Justice Council debate on remote hearings

On 6 December 2022 from 17:30-19:30, the Family Justice Council (FJC) is holding its 15th annual debate and panel discussion. The motion for this year’s debate reads: ‘Should remote hearings continue to play a significant role in family cases?’

Lexis®Library update: The event will take place at a venue in London in person and will be live streamed via MS Teams. The event will be chaired by the President of the Family Division and Chair of the Family Justice Council, Sir Andrew McFarlane.

Click here to register to attend the event. Registration for the event closes on 25 November 2022 for in person attendees and on 2 December 2022 for online attendees. Spaces at the venue are limited so the FJC will inform those applicants who have requested to attend in person whether they have been successful by 28 November 2022. The FJC will send an MS Teams link to applicants attending online in due course.
