What is the express financial remedy pilot?
From April 2025, the express financial remedy pilot will be introduced. It aims to reduce the time taken to resolve contested financial remedy cases where the parties’ total combined net assets are estimated to be £250,000 or less, by introducing a two-hearing process, rather than the standard three-hearing process, to resolve these cases.
Jenny Waite, Paralegal in the Family team, said:
“Although the express financial remedy pilot has not currently been rolled out in the London and Essex area yet, it is hoped that this will give parties with straightforward lower value assets a more streamlined, cost effective and timely experience in the court process to deal with financial remedy proceedings. If it proves that the pilot works well then it may be that this will be introduced across the country.”
