Counsel to assist the court

Filed under: Law & Courts — Ken @ 9:54 am Tue 17th March 2009

Hi folks
I have noticed an increasing tendency for judges in cases in Hawkes Bay to appoint a ‘counsel to assist the court’ in FC cases where the father is self represented.
I’m just wondering if there is a trend in any other regions?
For the record they don’t seem to add much to the proceedings other than cost to the tax payer!
regards
Ken
