First outing for landmark separation system of law

A LANDMARK family separation system had its first outing through the Legal Aid Board yesterday.

The fledgling cases involving collaborative law are reaching the courts this month. Yesterday in Bray District Court the first to involve the State-funded legal aid service was rubber stamped.

Spokeswoman for the Association of Collaborative Practice Anne O’Neill, of PJ O’Driscoll solicitors in Bandon said the arrival of this system of law into the family courts is a watershed.
