Family DivisionLady Chief JusticePresident of the Family DivisionNews

In March 2024 the President of the Family Division, with the agreement of the Lady Chief Justice, announced that from 9 April 2024 the Family Division of the High Court would be listing only urgent applications, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) List, and five-day hearings on Mondays.

This temporary, exceptional model was implemented to enable reforms to the Family Division’s administrative support to be embedded.

This temporary arrangement will come to an end after the Easter vacation and therefore Monday listings will resume for all hearing types from 30 April 2025

The President of the Family Division extends his thanks to all involved in the administrative reforms undertaken during this time.
