We are now closed for the Christmas and New Year period, reopening on Friday 3rd January 2025. Orders placed during this time will be processed upon our return on 3rd January.
The Standard Family Orders Handbook is the approved source of guidance to the official orders with a Foreword from the former president of the Family Division, Sir James Munby.
HHJ Edward Hess, Deputy National Lead Judge, Financial Remedies Courts, provides invaluable commentary on when and how to use each order, with a brief description of its purpose. The text of the orders is also interwoven with useful practice points from HHJ Hess where relevant.
In addition, the colour coding in the approved orders has been reproduced so that you can easily see what to amend when drafting your orders.
This second edition contains the latest version of each order, with all the revisions necessitated by the amended FPR 2010 Rule 9.27 (which significantly changed the way costs should be dealt with) and the new FPR Part 37 and PD 37A, together with fully updated commentary from HHJ Hess where relevant.
