CAS CASES Family law cases flood court system in London

Hundreds of family law cases in the court system are suddenly in limbo for the next six months, until a backlog of more than 70 child welfare cases is cleared up.

The order to make Children’s Aid Society (CAS) cases a priority came from the top, the court’s regional senior justice, after the trial list swelled to more than 100 CAS files.

Since the blitz began, that number has been whittled down to just more than 70 — but there’s still a lot of work to do.

Another 200 family law cases, unrelated to the CAS, are waiting in the wings.

Why there’s such a glut of child-welfare cases is complex. It’s partly because of the growing cases tied to economic troubles. One case that gobbled 154 days of trial time and the work of six lawyers, could also be a factor.
