HM Attorney General v Hartley: FD 6 Jul 2021

The defendant was said to have acted in contempt but only after the family proceedings were concluded. The court was now asked whether such an application was to be made in the High or the Family Court.
Held: The material date was that on which the application was made. If at that time the Family Court proceedings were concluded then the High Court was appropriate.
