Annika’s Diary # 6
Happy New Year from Lewis Rodgers!
The start of 2012 has definitely been busy. I have continued working in a number of areas including Non Molestation Order applications, Occupation Order applications, and Public and Private Law Children applications.
I have visited court multiple times over the past two weeks. I assisted Counsel in a Public Care Proceedings matter which also included a Human Rights Application and as a result of this a Queens Counsel was also present at the hearing.
I also represented a client at the Family Proceedings Court. This hearing was a return hearing for a Non Molestation Order application, Occupation Order application, Prohibited Steps Order application and a Residence Order application. It also involved the issue of a Transfer of Tenancy. When I attended court I liased with the CAFCASS officer regarding the incomplete safeguarding checks and I also liased with the Respondent who was acting as a litigant in person. I then went before the Justices of the Peace and represented the client.
I have completed a number of Draft Orders for my attendances at court that have included various clauses needed to cover multiple situations and outcomes in the individual cases. I have also carried out appointments with new clients at Lewis Rodgers offices in Winsford and Macclesfield making brand new applications and I have therefore drafted numerous documents for the Court, Legal Services Commission and of course for clients. These include; Draft Orders, Position Statements, FL401, C1A, C100, App 8 Forms, POA1 Forms, L31 Forms, Means 1 and Means 2 Forms.
