To ask Her Majesty's Government when they intend to introduce legislation to ban the practice of alleged domestic abusers cross-examining their alleged victims in the family courts.
To ask Her Majesty's Government when they intend to introduce legislation to ban the practice of alleged domestic abusers cross-examining their alleged victims in the family courts.
We remain fully committed to addressing the issue of abusers directly cross-examining their victims in family proceedings. We want to legislate to give family courts the power to stop this as soon as possible and are considering how best to proceed.
Family judges already have a range of powers they can use to make sure difficult courtroom situations are handled sensitively for vulnerable witnesses, such as putting questions to the witness from the bench.
