When you feel that the family court process is unjust, your fundamental human rights may be at stake. Our expert family law solicitors are specialists in applying the Human Rights Act to protect your right to a fair hearing and your right to a family life.
The Human Rights Act 1998 incorporates the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law. In family cases, two articles are particularly powerful tools that our solicitors can use to protect your interests and ensure a just outcome.
This ensures that the process used to decide your case is fair and just. We can use Article 6 to argue against:
This protects you from disproportionate interference in your family life by a public body, such as the court or a Local Authority.
Our family law team is committed to ensuring a fair process for every client. We have the expertise to identify when a human rights argument can and should be made, and the advocacy skills to present these complex arguments powerfully in court. We ensure every legal avenue is explored to protect you and your family.
Human rights arguments are relevant when you believe a decision made by a public body (like the court or a Local Authority) is unfair, disproportionate, or has not followed a proper process. They are a powerful tool to ensure the principles of justice are upheld in your case.

The court must balance the rights of all individuals involved, with the child's welfare being the paramount consideration. However, a well-made human rights argument can be extremely persuasive.
Yes. If a final decision has been made in your case and you believe your rights under the European Convention on Human Rights have been breached by the court, this can form the basis of an application to appeal the decision to a higher court.
If you feel you are facing an injustice in the family courts, you need an expert legal team on your side. Contact our specialist solicitors for a confidential consultation about your case.
