JUSTICE SERVICE FOR KENT 2024

Dr Gill Fargher, The High Sheriff of Kent, has issued this invitation to members of the Kent Law Society to attend this year's Justice Service at Rochester Cathedral.  This is a really splendid formal occasion and it is a great privilege to take part.  Your President Scott Neilson encourages as many members as possible to attend, and while this is difficult on a weekday morning, he hopes all firms may be able to send at least one representative. Gowns and tabs may be worn. 

ANTHONY REDFERN

We have been informed of the passing of past president Anthony Redfern. His funeral will be held at Vinters Park Crematorium, Maidstone on Friday 13 September at 2.45 pm if anyone wishes to attend.

Intermediaries - in re X and Y

"Following on from the above case I am looking at severely restricting the use of intermediaries in Kent. The guidance contained by Mr Justice Williams makes it plain that only in exceptional circumstances should they be used for the whole trial. Of course it is case specific and I expect everyone to look at each case individually so I can't be too dogmatic. Please can you send this out to your members."

Message to Kent Law Society members from HHJ Sarah Davies, Designated Family Judge for Kent, Canterbury Combined Court and Medway County Court.
