The President of the Family Division, Sir Andrew McFarlane, has launched a two-week rapid consultation on remote, hybrid and in-person hearings in the family justice system and the Court of Protection.
Mr Justice Hayden has published a letter outlining the work of the HIVE group set up to support support the work of the Court of Protection throughout the present covid-19 health crisis. The letter in full is set out below:
The Vice-President, Mr Justice Hayden, has issued detailed guidance on 31 March relating to remote access to the Court.
Mr Justice Hayden, Vice President of the Court of Protection, has issued practice guidance which sets out the procedure to be followed "where a decision relating to medical treatment arises and where thought requires to be given to bringing an application".
The Ministry of Justice has launched its long awaited refund scheme for a range of civil, magistrate, insolvency and Court of Protection fees. The implementation of the scheme follows a 2018 review where the Ministry "discovered fees in certain proceedings had been unintentionally set above cost". There are also somer fees that should not have been charged at all. Anyone who believes they paid too much for some court services between 22 April 2014 and 31 March 2018 can now apply for a refund via the MoJ website. The Court of Protection fees falling within the scheme are set out below (taken from the MoJ guidance) Over-charged: fees that were charged more than the cost of the service Mischarged: where the wrong fee was charged or should not have charged at all
