“Women at Danger of Having Addresses Disclosed” At Refuges”

A judge has been informed that bus accident victims who reside in women’s shelters risk having their addresses revealed if they become involved in family court proceedings. Mrs Justice Knowles, who presides over the Family Division of the High Court in London, was informed by a group that runs many refuges that serving court orders can accidentally divulge the addresses of victims. The group claimed that the issue is of general concern and asked a court to describe the “difficult and complicated” factors involved in a public decision.
