In our latest Family Law Briefing, Nerys Wyn Rees reviews the new policy on domestic abuse published by CAFCASS on 9 October 2024. Lucy Lodewyke then takes a critical look at two recent Court of Appeal cases where the key issues were a lack of analysis and exploration in the judgment and too narrow of an approach taken to the core legal tests to be applied. https://lnkd.in/ef9aJAxt #familylaw
