The role Lady Hale played in shaping and developing the concepts behind the Children Act 1989 is perhaps her greatest achievement, writes family lawyer David Burrows in NLJ this week

In the second instalment of an article on the former President of the Supreme Court’s impact on family law, Burrows explores Lady Hale’s involvement in establishing the radical ideas that children be listened to and that parents have responsibilities as well as rights. There is more to be done to improve children’s rights, Burrows says.
