Financial Remedies Transparency pilot notice
We make this announcement with the authority of the President of the Family Division.
On 11 December 2023, the President issued Guidance ahead of the launch of the Transparency Reporting Pilot For Financial Remedy Proceedings.
The pilot scheme started on 29 January 2024 in Birmingham, Leeds and the Central Family Court. With effect from 11 November 2024, the pilot scheme was extended to the Royal Courts of Justice. It is now intended to roll out the pilot scheme across the country.
Accordingly, with effect from 29 January 2025, it will apply to financial remedy proceedings taking place in all courts. The pilot scheme will be extended for a further year to 29 January 2026.
Attached are:
1. The President’s Guidance dated 11 December 2023; and
2. The updated versions of the transparency orders, which have been slightly modified to reflect feedback received during the course of the pilot scheme.
