Claire Miskin

Claire MiskinIt is with great sadness that Chambers announces the passing of Claire Miskin on the 27th October 2011.

Claire was a Bencher of Middle Temple, an advocacy trainer and a Recorder on the Western Circuit. She was a member of Chambers for over a decade, and served us as Head of Chambers for four years from January 1997.

We are deeply in her debt for the years of selfless work and dedication that she gave to ensure Chambers' continued success. Her intelligence, dignity, grace and good humour in adversity will be sorely missed.

Called in 1993, Catherine practises in Family Law, with an emphasis on public and private children matters and matrimonial finance. 

 

Re K (A Child)

Ayesha Hasan successfully acted for the appellant father in Re K (A Child) [2011] EWCA Civ 1075.

Ward LJ and McFarlane J held that section 11(7) of the Children Act 1989 is ancillary to the making of a Section 8 Order, is governed by the provisions for making such an order, and does not allow the importation by the back door of the matters laid down in the Matrimonial Homes Act or proper adjustment of rights of occupation.

Accordingly the order of the Judge below requiring the father to vacate his home under s. 11(7) could not be permitted to stand.
