Family law barrister, Iain Large writes an article for the Transparency Project website where he looks at two recent lower-value judgments in financial remedies cases on divorce, examples of the sorts of decisions taken on a daily basis by District Judges in the Family Court but very rarely published.

Iain explores the wider issues of transparency in the lower levels of the Family Court, the challenges presented by the disproportionate reporting of “big money” cases decided by High Court judges, and whether we would benefit from seeing more judgments from everyday cases.
