Lament to Legal Aid in Hague Convention cases AND a solution?

In Kinderis v Kineriene [2013] EWHC 4139 (Fam) (18 December 2013)Holman J highlights the inequality in provision of legal aid to Applicants and Respondents in Hague Convention Cases. Three months later Mostyn J considered the possibility that costs allowances might be available to plug that gap: Rubin-v-Rubin [2014] EWHC 611 (Fam) (Mostyn J 10 March 2014). Although he did not make an order in that case he rejected the submission that such orders were inimical to the Hague summary process. Watch this space.
