Articles

You have reached the articles' section of the 4 Brick Court website.  Most of the articles have been written by members of chambers and they are grouped by subject area.  We are developing an online library of case summaries by subject such as cases on Removal of Children from the Jurisdiction.

 

Each case summary will appear as a separate sub-article under the main heading.  If you would like a copy of the case summaries in one document, please contact chambers and we will email it to you.  We also publish a Family Law Updater once a month with a round up of important cases, articles & legislation in family law.

 

All the text and images on this website are the copyright of 4 Brick Court or the individual author if copyright is asserted by them in their articles. The information and any commentary on the law contained on this website is provided free of charge for general information purposes only.

 

Every reasonable effort is made to make the information and commentary accurate and up to date, but no responsibility for its accuracy and correctness, or for any consequences of relying on it, is assumed by any member of Chambers.   You should always take professional advice on your particular situation.
