Thu 05 May 2007McGuinness decries lack of reports in family law casesRetired Supreme Court judge Catherine McGuinness has said it is "extraordinary" that expert independent reports from people such as psychiatrists and social workers are not easily accessible in family law cases.Chairing the Law Society's family law conference in Dublin yesterday, Ms McGuinness said that Australian courts had access to a wide range of supports, such as mediation and advice from experts. "It does seem extraordinary that we are unwilling to provide even the most minimal amount of expertise for the family law courts in this country," she said.
