On 1 December 2017 the President of the Family Division, Sir James Munby, released a circular stating that he is proposing to pilot the Financial Remedies Court (FRC) concept in London, the West Midlands and South-East Wales. The pilot with start in February 2018. He envisages that further pilots will follow quite shortly.
Initially the FRC will deal with ancillary relief cases and this will be extended to all financial remedy cases dealt with in the Family Court or Family Division.
The FRC will function with paper files, as at present Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) is already working on transition by the FRC to a fully digitised model.
