Poonam Bhari (pictured here), specialist family barrister at 3PB Barristers (3 Paper Buildings) has written for The Barrister on the possible effects that backlogs in family dispute resolution cases can have on both the families involved and the overall structure of family law proceedings.

In her article, published in the June/July issue, Poonam highlights the significant backlog of cases within the family courts and explores how early resolution and out of court settlements could help reduce the strain on the family courts, as well as offering parties a quicker, cheaper and less hostile resolution.

Poonam also discusses how the backlogs are particularly detrimental to cases involving children, whether this be uprooting the status quo or delaying important decisions involving the welfare interests of children and families.
