In this third instalment of our look at the intersection of private and public children law, this article will focus on the circumstances in which the local authority may become involved within private law proceedings through a s 37 report and may then decide to issue public law proceedings. This article will also explore practical considerations that lawyers specialising in this field must be alive to.

The full article will be published in the June issue of Family Law.
