Part 25 Family Procedure Rules

Legal disclaimer:

This content is for informational purposes only and is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice. You should not rely on any information we may provide you with as an alternative to legal advice from a fully qualified legal professional regulated by the appropriate authorities. We strongly advise you to take professional legal advice from a fully qualified legal professional regulated by the appropriate authorities.

Please note that Practice Direction 25c Para 2.3 states that ‘each party should disclose whether they have already consulted any of the proposed experts about the issue(s) in question.’ This means that, on the grounds of a potential conflict of interest, the court is unlikely to allow for the instruction of an Expert from the Clinic if you have previously had a consultation with us.
