Back into it

Tuesday, January 05, 2010

I hope everyone has had a chance of a break over Christmas. Thankfully I did, and will have plenty of new posts in 2010. Two things are certain:

  • the Family and Federal Magistrates Courts will continue to publish judgments at such a frenetic pace that it will remain impossible for virtually everyone to keep up; and
  • there will be changes to family law in 2010. Whether this is just in case law, or in statute remains to be seen. Family law continues to remain topic du jour amongst MP’s, so it’s likely that there will be more statutory changes.
