This on-demand webinar recording provides essential guidance for family law practitioners on managing confidential information and navigating disclosure obligations in family law proceedings. Presented by Andrew Berger KC, the session explores the practical operation of the Harman undertaking, the distinction between information obtained voluntarily and through compulsory court processes, and the circumstances in which disclosure may be permitted under legislation or court rules.
Through practical examples and analysis, Andrew examines the risks associated with improper use or disclosure of confidential material, including potential contempt proceedings, disciplinary consequences, and reputational harm. The session also outlines the appropriate steps practitioners should take when seeking release from confidentiality obligations and highlights the non-publication requirements that arise once proceedings commence.
A valuable resource for family law practitioners, this recording offers clear, practical guidance on identifying confidentiality issues, managing risk, and ensuring compliance with professional and court-imposed obligations.
