In force from 6 April 2011, the keenly awaited Family Procedure Rules 2010 provide a single set of rules of court for family proceedings in the High Court, county courts and magistrates' courts. The rules establish a comprehensive, modernised code of family procedure that replaces a large body of unconsolidated rules, guidance and forms for different courts and different types of proceedings. Family Procedures Rules 2010 is a timely guide to the new rules. Written by a practising family law solicitor, the book provides a practical perspective on this fundamental change to family proceedings. This invaluable book offers: - up-to-date coverage of the rules of court - an outline of the major changes - expert commentary on the practical implications of the rules - the text of the rules reproduced in full - all the relevant practice directions.
