This Notice to the Profession introduces a number of changes to facilitate more timely, efficient and affordable access to justice in family law cases.  These initiatives focus on the need to streamline processes for family cases, consistent with the primary objective of the Family Law Rules to deal with cases justly including (i) ensuring that the procedure is fair to all parties, (ii) saving expense and time, (iii) dealing with the case in ways that are appropriate to its importance and complexity, and(iv) giving appropriate court resources to the case while taking account of the need to give resources to other cases.
