Neil Russell Quoted in ePrivateClient
02 Nov 2021 // In the pressPartner Neil Russell has been quoted in ePrivateClient's recent article 'Family lawyers raise concerns about new transparency proposals'.
The long-awaited transparency in family courts has been published, resulting in "revolutionary and far reaching" proposals.
The difficulty appears in achieving a balance between the public getting a better insight into family courts while maintaining families’ rights to their private lives.
Neil Russell says that in “my view any general proposition to provide greater transparency must be managed by the judge in the case acting as the ‘publicity gatekeeper’.”
