John Hemming:
I have an example of egregious behaviour by the family justice system to present.
The petition states:
The Petition of a British Citizen
Declares that a Local Authority has recently told a mother that she will not be allowed contact with her adopted child if she continues to protest outside the Family Court.
The Petitioner therefore requests that the House of Commons urges the government to legislate to prevent Local Authorities from using control over contact with their children to prevent parents from protesting about the unfairness of the Family Justice System in England and Wales.
And the Petitioner remains, etc.

I doubt the government would be interested in inacting any such legislation - even if it was needed - they are allowing the Family Courts to dig themselves into their hole day-by-day. I think the reason (Warning - conspiracy theory approaching!) is so they can justify the executive being able to excert more control over the judiciary in the future.
One thing Labour hates is judges bouncing their pet projects (anti-terrorism law, deportations etc.) Thanks to the Family Courts Divisions, if it becomes necessary the government will be able to justify being able to introduce laws to have, say, the facility for the government to have judges sacked, on the basis that the Family Courts Divisions are rogue, and only Government intervention could resolve the abuses. Seeing as the judiciary won't solve or address the problems - every Judge in the land is now vulnerable to lawful intervention from the State(and they thought Father4Justice were their biggest headache!)
The public won't accept the judiciaries bleatings about the threat to freedoms if the judiciary are rendered under the control by the State; all the government would do would be to drip-feed Family Court scandals to the media.
