Select Committee Report
June 13, 2013 at 11:37 AM
Our full summary is here.
There are a number of changes promoted by the Select Committee which are partially in line with our submission’s requests. Some include:
- The clause making FDR free for those eligible for legal aid.
- Allowing protected person and respondent programme providers to provide safety information back to the court and requirement to feed this on to protected persons.
- Improving definition of FDR and PIP and setting out the requirements of these in the Act.
- Allowing judges to override provisions preventing legal representation
There are still major areas of concern, however:
- The new Bill places greater emphasis on judges as the gate keepers to legal representation which means that access will vary from judge to judge/court to court.
- FDR remains and is strengthened but the overriding principle of diminished access to court has not been addressed.
- Bill sends message that CoCA applicants must first apply for a protection order in order to gain the right to have the court assess the safety of their children when there is domestic violence.
- CoCA still does not define safety of a child.
- Final parenting orders are still preferred over interim orders.
- No set of best practice principles for the Family Court.
- Those applying to the court for exemptions from FDR because of DV must still provide an affidavit if not under a protection order.
We’ll keep you posted of further developments as they arise.
