Children's court idea receives cool reception

| New Zealand News | Thursday September 6 2012 16:43

The idea of having a separate court for children is receiving a cool reception.

Principal Family Court Judge Peter Boshier says effective early intervention for children could be offered through a division of the Family Court, rather than a separate care and protection court.

Law Society Family Law section chairman Garry Collins agrees.

He says there are much more pressing issues than a dual court system.

"And it's the current integrity of the Family Court I think which is more important than trying to set up another court."

Mr Collins says setting up another court will only lead to increased costs.
