The Forward March of Children's Justice Halted - Reviews
Edward Lloyd-Jones

"...[there has been] a devastating haemorrhage of talent and an acute public shortage, particularly in London, of competent guardians in public law cases." 
Lord Justice Wall

"It is unsatisfactory, if not invidious, that courts charged with taking serious and sensitive decisions about children, where an under-informed decision could on occasion spell disaster, should have to choose between (a) over-burdening an already over-stretched local authority or (b) denying a residential assessment to a parent for whom it represents the only hope of avoiding the loss of his or her child to adoption".
Mr Justice Bodey

"This astronomical increase in court fees demonstrates once again that the government has completely lost its way on the fundamentals of child protection and family justice." 
Alistair McDonald, Association of Lawyers for Children

"We have been told that the City of Birmingham estimates its budget for starting proceedings would increase from £37,500 to £1.5 million."
The Council of Circuit Judges

"Government's treatment of the [family justice] system is nothing less than death by a thousand cuts..." 
Mr Justice Coleridge

"Edward Lloyd-Jones has pulled together the strands of what now seems to be a systematic dismantling of all that has been achieved in the last 17 years. He raises questions which need to be urgently addressed."
District Judge Nicholas Crichton
