Re B (A Child) (Disclosure)

Comment

Munby J acknowledged that public confidence in the family court system was at risk of being undermined. He said that too relentless an enforcement of the privacy of family court proceedings may therefore be counter productive and the courts should perhaps in future be more willing to allow matters from such proceedings to be put into the public domain. The decision therefore provides encouragement for those who wish to see greater openness in the family court system.
