500 _aLaw Commission report, 2003, 82
520 _aThis Law Commission Report (R82) is in response to widespread criticism of the Family Court of New Zealand. Allegations include: the system is biased against men; applications are granted too readily without notice; where orders are made without notice, it takes too long for the other party to be heard; matters generally take too long to resolve; children suffer because of these delays; and lastly, not all Family Court professionals are properly trained and skilled. The report makes a number of recommendations, including the proposal of new conciliation processes and court procedures that would help resolve family disputes and that the present system be resourced to perform at its most efficient, without delays caused by a lack of court time, a shortage of report writers, and a lack of assistance from the Department of Child, Youth and Family Services. Use the website link for an overview of this project and related documents, including the Government's response to the Law Commission report.
