FLS Webinar: Demystifying Appeals - When the Family Court Judge (or Family Court Associate) gets it wrong

It can be difficult to know when to challenge an unsatisfactory outcome in the Family Court. Family Court Barrister Grant Tyrrell presents a webinar to help demystify the appeals process and will address:

• when and how to appeal a Family Court decision should you appeal?
• whether it’s an appeal, or a judicial review?
• is the process different when dealing with a Family Court Associate decision?
• what to do if the other party appeals
• can you appeal a decision "made by consent" ?

Grant has appeared as lead counsel in criminal trials, including those heard before a Judge and Jury and in the Family Court jurisdiction for over two decades. He has successfully argued high profile cases to the Court of Appeal including Surrey v Surrey the first, and leading case, argued before the Court of Appeal under the (then) Domestic Violence Act. He is a Court appointed Lawyer for Child and is regularly asked to assist the Court as Lawyer to Assist or Amicus Curiae. He has also served on Law Society committees and as President of the Canterbury-Westland Branch of the New Zealand Law Society.
