Any application made after 1 March 2022 will be listed as an in person hearing unless an application for it to be heard remotely has been made prior to the hearing and granted by a judge. All other hearings will be listed in accordance with the direction of the judge at the previous hearing.

Accredited members of the press or legal bloggers who wish to attend remote hearing should email their request to rcj.familyhighcourt@justice.gov.uk who will forward your email details to the Associates Team. Please can requests be emailed the day before the hearing or, if possible, no later than 9.30 am on the day of the hearing.

The present arrangements will be kept under review.

5.2 Tipstaff

If your matter requires the services of the Tipstaff, please telephone 020 7947 6200 to discuss your requirements prior to attending / entering court. Your matter will not be heard until you have spoken to the Tipstaff.

  1. Unlisted applications may only be made to the Applications Court if they are urgent, and the urgency arises from some very recent development or circumstance.

  2. Except in circumstances of extreme urgency, applications must be made at 10.30am and not at any later time.
  3. No application may be made to the High Court Applications Court which is capable of being made to a lower tier of judge.
