Family Law: An update by Barrister Poonam Bhari
Barrister Poonam Bhari from 3PB highlights the Pathfinder court model’s success in reducing delays and fostering collaboration in private law cases, while stressing the need for additional funding to expand it. Improvements in public law are noted, despite ongoing delays, exemplified by Re E [2024], where a child’s case faced significant setbacks due to poor practice. Recent changes to the MIAM process are also aimed at reducing conflict and delays in private law proceedings.
