Subject: Request for information from shuttle FDR on 7 July 2015

 

Dear Geoff,

Thank you for your email on Thursday 9 July 2015.  I work part time, so my apologies for not responding earlier. 

You made a  request for written information about some of what was said by Dr Zeimer in the family dispute resolution session on 7 July 2015, which proceeded by way of shuttle.  I have discussed your request with our team leader, Alan Baker, who is also a Lawyer and who provides us with internal legal advice.

Because of provisions in the Family Law Act relating to the confidentiality of the family dispute resolution process (in particular, section 10H) and the inadmissibility in Court of evidence of matters which are said in the process (particularly section 10J), it is our practice to not provide the sort of information you have requested. We passed on information to you during our meeting of what Dr Zeimer had said. Now that the meeting is over, we are not able to repeat or put in writing that information.

The legal position relating to the confidentiality and inadmissibility of the process was summarised in the 4 page information sheet  (“Family Dispute Resolution Information”) provided to you at the outset of our engagement with you, and we refer you back to that information.

Yours sincerely,

Elizabeth Jenkins
