Principal Registry and family courts key contacts

Family Court contacts

The Law Society has obtained details of key contacts regarding listing and progress of specific categories of case in the Principal Registry and other family courts, which will greatly assist practitioners tracking the progress of their cases. Family practitioners will find these direct contacts useful but should note that although we have been promised amendments from time to time, there will be occasions when these lists are out of date.
