Parent Centred Parenting

Parent Centred Parenting

'Its Childs Play'

Hanson Renouf is sponsoring the seminar by child psychologist Dr. Amanda Gummer. Dr Gummer’s seminar is focused on ‘Parent centred parenting’ and will help participants to deal with some of the stresses placed on today’s parents, and provide practical strategies for dealing with them. As a firm we have found her work interesting and valuable for our clients, and hope to involve a wider audience in Jersey who may benefit from her expertise.

 The seminar will take place on Tuesday 7th July 2009 at the Radisson Hotel from 10am until 3pm. Lunch and refreshments are included and there will be an opportunity for participants to ask questions of Dr Gummer about specific areas of concern.

If you would like more information about this event, or require hard copies of the flyer, please don’t hesitate to contact either me or one of the partners, Advocates Hanson and Renouf. Please also contact me to discuss potential discounts for staff wishing to attend the seminar.

RIGHTS OF AUDIENCE IN JERSEY AND GUERNSEY AND WHO SHOULD EXERCISE THEM

 
Article in The Jersey & Guernsey Law Review by Timothy Hanson & Jon Barclay.
 
 
Jon Barclay is a barrister, advocate and partner of Guernsey law firm AO Hall Advocates.
Timothy Hanson is a barrister, advocate and partner of Jersey law firm Hanson Renouf.
 
 
'Subject to limited exceptions, the right to appear on behalf of a party in any legal process in the courts of Jersey and Guernsey is restricted to Advocates of the respective Bailiwicks’ Royal Courts but such right is not absolute and unfettered and is subject to the court’s inherent jurisdiction to control its own process. In principle, the same jurisdiction enables non-admitted persons, in appropriate circumstances and subject to the court’s sanction, to appear on behalf of a party in any particular process before the court. In recent years, however, businesses have evolved seeking to conduct civil litigation through persons who have little or no legal qualifications and by means of various contractual mechanisms specifically aimed at “creating” rights of audience. Such mechanisms are legal fictions and it is not in the public interest that they should be recognized. There is a place for such lay advocates before our courts, but they should be appropriately regulated, permitted to operate without the
need for legal fictions and restricted to roles appropriate to their level of expertise.'

Hanson Renouf Barristers & Advocates

We are a specialist civil litigation firm collectively offering over 50 years of legal experience in professional practice. These are our main practice areas:

 

 

  • commercial & contractual disputes
  • professional negligence
  • employment
  • sale of goods & credit
  • competition law and consumer protection
  • regulatory work
  • trust litigation
  • family law
  • human rights

     

    Chambers & Partners - Legal Publishers say:

    Noted for its focus on competition and employment law, this fledgling firm’s expansion into wider civil litigation has been a success in the eyes of commentators.

    As a boutique outfit, the practice is “responsive, efficient and its charges are modest in comparison with some. It’s a small firm and the partners are always accessible - which can’t always be said of their larger competitors.”

    Ex-barrister Timothy Hanson is one half of the group. Peers respect his forthrightness, while colleague Mark Renouf receives plaudits for his non-contentious work
