When will Family Justice Report be implemented?

I have been asked by grandparents now that the final report has been published how long will it be before it is law?

Well, as I have said previously, this report is 'recommendations,' so it goes to government and they will write responses, and it is possible that it will be published in the New Year. That is when they will decide as to whether they agree with the recommendations or to drop parts or add parts.

Any legislation would have to be in draft form, debated and then move through the appropriate stages in Parliament.

It is anyones guess how long this will all take, but we are talking about a couple of years, I would think, before it will take effect.

With everything being in such turmoil, economically etc, it will depend on time allowed in Parliament and how far up the agenda of importance the report is deemed to be.
