Description
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Privilege Privacy and Confidentiality in Family Proceedings by David Burrows
To look at confidentiality privilege and privacy from the point of view of the family law practitioner – judge solicitor or barrister doctor or social worker – the law must be seen as part of the mainstream of the common law. Is a child entitled to confidentiality; or is it correct as Working Together guidance says that the mature child’s confidences should be ‘shared’? When can privilege be overridden; and when does it not apply? Does without prejudice privilege cover a mediator; and when are closed materials procedures appropriate in children proceedings? These and many more questions are covered in this book.
