Book review: Applications under Schedule 1 of the Children Act 1989

Many practitioners in children proceedings will find this new edition invaluable for their courtwork in 2018. There are twelve chapters and five appendices to cover the subject-matter after the decisions in M v V in 2010 and Delaney twenty years earlier in 1990. 

As the late Nicholas Wall says, the authors from IGC Family Law are all practising members of the Bar and “have produced a clear and useful book” which will be of help to a wide audience, according to Elizabeth Robson Taylor, of Richmond Green Chambers, and Phillip Taylor MBE, Head of Chambers.

For many practitioners (possibly not so familiar with the detail in this area of child proceedings), Schedule 1 applications “provide an important way of ensuring children's financial needs are met where their parents are not married”. And, in 2018 we are now finding a position that more parents are unmarried than married for the first time in centuries. 

It is a fully updated text from the LexisNexis Family Law imprint originally part of Jordans in Bristol and we are delighted that the publishers continue to help us so assiduously in family publications.
