A decision that a senior Judge at Taunton Family Court has described as one of the most finely balanced decisions she’s ever had to make was considered by the Court of Appeal in April.
Alletsons were representing the Local Authority in a case where permission was sought to re-open the decision made in a previous Fact Finding. Permission was granted by the Court. Father appealed. The existing authorities on the issue of re-opening Fact Find Hearings are conflicting. It is this issue the Court of Appeal now wants to resolve in this evidentially complex case. Whatever decision the Court ultimately makes will likely be the new leading authority in this area of law, making legal headline news across the country and Alletsons will be right there in the thick of it! The case was also part of a trial to make family justice more open and was streamed Live on YouTube. The outcome was that the Father’s appeal was dismissed. We are continually raising our firms profile through Will Aid scheme and this year we managed to raise £ 1,550 It is a great way to attract interest in our firm and it gives us a unique opportunity to help some of the most vulnerable people both here in the UK and around the World. As Will Aid generates many new clients, this opportunity exposes them to other services such as Power of Attorney, which goes hand in hand with Will writing.  As Will Aid has now ended we are continuing to take on clients to write their Wills, please get in touch if you would like us to look at your Wills with you.
