\"Should<\/a>For a number of years there has been a debate about whether alleged perpetrators of domestic abuse should be allowed to cross examine their victims in the family court. This arises where the alleged perpetrator is a parent who has applied for a child arrangements order. It is usually, but not always, the father who has applied to the court and the mother who is alleging domestic abuse.<\/p>\n

If the court finds that the mother has been subjected to abuse, it will be cautious about making any orders for the child to spend time with an abusive father. Conversely, if a mother knows that allegations of abuse will mean she is more likely to be successful in securing an order that the child spends only supervised or no time with the father, she could make false or exaggerated claims of abuse.<\/p>\n

The right to a fair trial<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

It is the right of the parties to the proceedings to a fair trial. If there are allegations of abuse, this right extends to being able to question and cross examine the alleged victim. However, where the allegations are genuine, the act of the cross examination could be an extension of the abuse itself.<\/p>\n

Since the abolition of Legal Aid for the majority of family cases in 2013, many people are making applications to court without legal representation. These are known as \u2018litigants in person\u2019 or \u2018self represented litigants\u2019. \u00a0A litigant in person has a right to conduct the court proceedings in the same way as a solicitor or barrister; this includes cross examining the other party.<\/p>\n

The courts therefore have to strike a balance between the right to a fair trial and protecting vulnerable witnesses.<\/p>\n

Limiting the damage<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

This issue came to the fore in a recent case<\/a><\/span> in the High Court which ran on for 6 days and finished on 4th<\/sup> May 2017. The father who was representing himself was able to cross examine the mother in respect of abuse allegations. The judge, Mr Justice Hayden, was clearly moved by the mother\u2019s experience and went into some detail about cross examination in the family courts (para 57 to 63). He had tried to limit the damage of the father\u2019s questioning by allowing the mother to give evidence via video link with her back to the camera.<\/p>\n

In the judgment Mr Justice Hayden stated: \u201c[the mother]has at times looked both exhausted and extremely distressed\u201d. He went on to say:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a stain on the reputation of our Family Justice system that a Judge can still not prevent a victim being cross examined by an alleged perpetrator. This may not have been the worst or most extreme example but it serves only to underscore that the process is inherently and profoundly unfair. I would go further it is, in itself, abusive. For my part, I am simply not prepared to hear a case in this way again. I cannot regard it as consistent with my judicial oath and my responsibility to ensure fairness between the parties\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

He referred to the to the Women\u2019s Aid publication \u2018Nineteen Child Homicides<\/a><\/span>\u2019 which also dealt with this issue.<\/p>\n

This case does not create a precedent; each case involving a cross examination of this nature will be managed by the judge hearing the case in their own way. In criminal court proceedings an alleged perpetrator cannot cross examine a victim. An outright ban on alleged perpetrators cross examining their alleged victims in the family court could prejudice the right to a fair trial. However, the current situation leaves vulnerable witnesses open to further abuse through the court process and judges have limited powers to protect them.<\/p>\n
