Susan practises in all areas of family law especially care proceedings, acting for parents, Local Authorities and Guardians. She has particular experience in cases involving injury to children. Over the last few years she has conducted many cases relating to brain injured babies - in the County Court, High Court and Court of Appeal. The more serious fact finding hearings relating to emotional harm, sexual abuse and neglect also make up a large part of her practice.
Ancillary relief also forms an important feature of her work; she accepts privately-paying instructions only.
Susan's Court of Appeal cases include:
Re G (Parental Responsibility Order) [2006] EWCA Civ 745, forthcoming in Family Law Reports;
Re L (Children) (Threshold Criteria) 2006 Lawtel report 25-8-06.
Training is of particular interest to Susan and she regularly conducts seminars for solicitors as part of the Southernhay Chambers' programme. |
