520			_aThis article discusses the law changes that were proposed in the Davison Report, a report that inquired into the Family Court proceedings relating to Christine Bristol and Alan Bristol. It lists and examines the suggested law changes, and the author concludes that the law as it was then accommodated many of the suggestions, and the proposals were merely specific instances of the application of that law. It further argues that even if the proposals had been in place before the unfortunate deaths occurred, they probably would not have prevented the outcome. Further to this, the author suggests that rather than an ad hoc response to a specific event, like that of the deaths in the Bristol case, the proposed changes should have been the result of a wider consideration of the issues and remedies. Even though Sir Ronald Davison made suggestions to change the law in order to avoid a possible repetition of the events, the author of this article does not see that changes would make a difference.
