IS IT TRUE THAT I HAVE TO SEE A SOLICITOR ABOUT MY SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND THAT IS THE LAW? Yes, it is true that in the UK, you are legally required to receive independent legal advice from a solicitor or a qualified legal adviser before you sign a settlement agreement. This is mandated by law to ensure that you fully understand the terms and implications of the agreement you are entering into. The advisor must be insured to provide this advice and will need to sign a certificate confirming that they have provided you with the necessary legal advice. This step is crucial to ensure the agreement is legally binding and that you are protected in the process. WHAT IS INVOLVED WITH A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?? You will need to meet with our employment solicitor who will review the terms of the settlement agreement with you. This meeting will give you ample opportunity to ask any questions to ensure you fully understand and are comfortable with what you are signing. If you are satisfied with the terms, you will sign the agreement and our solicitor will complete the advisor’s certificate. These documents will then be sent to your employer for their signature, and a copy will be sent back to you. The advice provided will be confirmed in writing. HOW MUCH WILL A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT COST? Typically, your employer will contribute towards the legal costs associated with advising you on the terms and effects of the settlement agreement. We offer quick, confidential legal advice on settlement agreements. Our expert team can negotiate on your behalf.

Do we need physical family courts? That is the question Rob George and I pose in an article we have just published in the Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law. We consider the family court’s functions – not just in adjudication, but in encouraging parties to reflect on their positions, negotiate, and work towards a solution, (sometimes) with the moral support of a legal team – and ask, are they performed as well remotely? We explore guidance issued by the senior judiciary during the pandemic. In 2020-2021, the family court’s adjudicative function was put front and centre, at the expense, we suggest, of its broader role in helping parties to find agreement. We also draw on empirical research conducted in 2020 by George and Maclean into other family justice professionals’ experiences of the pandemic, to reflect on what might be lost when family court hearings take place remotely. We hope our piece adds something to the debate on the future of remote hearings. For us, physical family courts are an essential part of the family justice system, which, generally speaking, allow the family court to perform its many functions – over and above adjudication – more effectively. Remote hearings might be suitable for pure directions hearings, and may be fair and just in particular circumstances, but these are likely to be few and far between. Thanks to UCL, the article has been published open access: https://lnkd.in/ehEJB2X3 Happy reading!

Keeley Lengthorn who instructed Simon Rowbotham of 4PB had a successful outcome this week. Please click below to find out more. #SmartModernLaw #FamilyLaw
Simon Rowbotham was instructed by Keeley Lengthorn of Taylor Rose MW for a mother on a father's application to relocate. This matter went to appeal in which the mother was represented on a #probono basis by both Simon and Keeley. The Appeal was successful on all 11 grounds. The Judge, at first instance, overlooked the matter of the mother's and child's race. However, the court later emphasised that this factor was indeed significant in the context of this internal relocation case, as outlined in the welfare checklist. https://lnkd.in/eWr_Jeup #FamilyLaw #ChildRelocation

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀? Grandparents often face challenges in maintaining contact with their grandchildren, especially following a breakdown in family relationships. If amicable agreements with the parents aren't possible, grandparents can apply to the Family Court for a child arrangements order. However, they first need the court's permission to proceed with this application. The court considers several factors, including the grandparent's relationship with the child and the potential impact on the child's life. While parents can oppose this process, potentially delaying or halting it, the court ultimately focuses on the child's welfare. This includes considering the child's wishes, needs, and any potential harm. Typically, courts recognise the benefits of grandparent-grandchild contact and are likely to grant some form of contact, though the extent varies based on what's best for the child. This process, while complex, offers a legal avenue for grandparents to maintain a relationship with their grandchildren. You can read the full article below, and as always, we would love to hear your feedback below. Finally, a huge thank you to our incredible LinkedIn family, and Family Law Cafe supporters, including Mike Roberts, Ben Bryant, Dawn Hutchings and Jay Sahota 🌶🪄💰🕰 #law #familylaw #legal #legalmatters https://lnkd.in/eS_kjbCU

LEGAL PRESUMPTION OF DEATH (DEATH IN ABSENTIA) - WHEN & HOW #Casestudy: A foreign seafarer died on board of the #Singapore Flag vessel due to #covid -19 related complications. The claim was filed under Workmen Compensation Act (#WICA) with Ministry of Manpower (#MOM) for their assessment of the death compensation. Remarkably, it was assessed as WICA claim by MOM as the death was during the course of employment. The critical question came forth was the apportionment of the compensation funds among Next of Kins (#NOKs) - ex-spouse and minor son and legal spouse and two minor daughters. However, since both the ex-spouse and the son are missing, MOM may have to hold the WICA assessment for 7 years (in accordance with the #EvidenceAct). There is a “Presumption of Death” or “Death in Absentia” for such a person, missing for a number of years in various jurisdictions (e.g. 5 years in Indonesia and 7 years in most of the other jurisdictions). However, this assumption doesn’t mean that the process is automatic. To get the advantage of this assumption, there are evidence required to be produced to satisfy the Courts that the individual has disappeared and no indication of life to claim the whole compensation by the remaining NOKs. - Guidance for death #certificate for missing people: 1. Those claiming the death certificates must deliver the actual evidence to support their legal heir status; 2. To get necessary orders from the competent court by swearing in necessary affidavit the date, place of death of missing individual. 3. To seek the legal assistance from the court to pass a decree declaring the concerned person’s death. Only when such a declaration is made, benefits of compensation or succession rights vest in the legal heirs. - To be fair with the deceased’s all the legal heirs, the Following out of box, #inhouse advice was provided by us to resolve the matter : 1. To withdraw their claim under WICA. 2. To consider the WICA compensation as the benchmark/guideline. 3. To set aside the death compensation and its proportion to the NOKs including, missing son, legal spouse and 2 minor daughters; 4. To create a “#Trust” with the assistance of a local lawyer for setting aside the funds for the earlier son, which could be there until 7 years of the last seen status until the court declare it to be the “Presumption of Death” under local laws. From our experience, it is realized that to comply with para 4), it would be very complex when the whereabouts of the person is unknown. Hence, it is required to be explained the situation to the legal heirs/family member in an amenable way and seek their confirmation how would they wish to proceed.
