Intervenors' Claims in Financial Remedy Proceedings - The Key Issues for Family Lawyers

Introduction

As every family law solicitor will know, financial remedy applications involving intervenors can be complicated, expensive, and slow to progress through the courts. But help is not far away.

This new virtual classroom seminar presented by Greg Williams of Coram Chambers, is designed to provide you with the key issues that are likely to arise in an intervenor’s claim and provide you with sufficient detail to help advise the applicant or the respondent or the third party as the case may be.

This live session will include a case study as a working example, together with top tips for directions orders and joinder; key case law to watch out for, particularly in relation to trusts of land concerning the ‘Bank of Mum and Dad’ or other relatives, and a section on costs in family finance cases.
