Family Law Act Injunctions

Members of College Chambers are regularly instructed to represent both Applicants and Respondents in proceedings concerning Family Law Act injunctions. This includes applications for non-molestation, occupation and transfer of tenancy orders. We appreciate that these applications are often made in emergencies, and our dedicated Clerking team will endeavour to assist you even with the most short notice listing. We have barristers who can be instructed both on a Legal Aid (where available) and private basis (including through Direct Access).

We recognise that these cases often also involve connected Children and Family Finance proceedings or issues. The wider expertise of our team means that our barristers will be alive to those other competing and conflicting issues when dealing with the current case. Our barristers can advise and guide both professional and lay clients through the process.

If you let the Clerking team know that there are other applications or proceedings at the time of booking they will assist you in identifying the most suitable barrister.

Our team has experience in:

Cases involving all forms of domestic abuse, including physical, verbal and sexual abuse as well as controlling and coercive behaviour.
Representing and advising parties in applications for non-molestation and/or occupation orders as well as transfer of tenancy applications.
Representing parties at ex-parte and urgent applications.
Representing parties at all stages of proceedings from the initial first hearing, through to directions hearings and final hearings.
Representing parties at committal proceedings.
Dealing with cases involving medical evidence, medical experts and police disclosure.

The Trustees and I are very pleased with the result. I would be grateful if you could forward our appreciation to Jessica Price, both for her professionalism and her consideration in the manner in which she dealt with the case. On a personal level I wish to convey my thanks to her for making a difficult few days more bearable due to the confidence felt in her skills.

“

The excellence and compassion of Molly Mifsud who represented me with articulate advocacy with genuine compassion whilst understanding the complexities of my divorce background and facts. My family and I could not have asked for, or expected such an excellent counsel, she is truly remarkable. For anyone who is experiencing the complexities and sheer pressure of a divorce hearing, I could not recommend any stronger advice other than to secure the services of Molly, as I am utterly confident that one can be sure, that their case will be in the best of hands and a favourable result will be secured.

A Happy Client

“

Nicola is an excellent barrister with a clear pragmatic approach to financial remedy matters. Her knowledge of figures in a case and her tenacity when arguing her client's position, whether in Court or in negotiations to achieve the best possible settlement for the client are second to none. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nicola to any of my clients.

An extremely helpful, strong and robust advocate
