Duress in the Family Context (2018)

Preview

Why are we talking and thinking about Duress?

Family Lawyers are often social first responders.  We carry the canary in the underground mine. We experience real life society as it evolves while being required to interpret that experience on the delayed response of judicial interpretation.

Recently many of us got to breathe a sigh of relief when the High Court called ( sounds like fowl but isn’t) on a Binding Financial Agreement that didn’t pass the ordinary sniff test: didn’t smell right to anyone.

Reading all three decisions of the Trial Judge, the Full Court and the High Court reminded me that we can’t always pin point which of the suite of equitable concepts we are dealing with or more often, not dealing with.

As a result, I have focussed this presentation on one of equitable concepts: Duress.

My aim is to refresh your memories on the concept, where and how it is used in the Family Law Act and its importance in our work.

Interestingly it is also a social time when a reflection on power and its misuse it being fore fronted in the real world of relationships where Family Lawyers reside.
