General Scheme of the Guardianship of Infants (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. David French:

I would hope that in 100% of cases where there has been a guilty verdict, the family law court starts thinking about the suspension or removal of guardianship and there is no possibility the ball will get dropped or there will be some ridiculously long delay. It must absolutely and definitely happen like night follows day. It should be the case that when the verdict lands the family law court gets involved. There should be no way it can be circumvented and it should have to go from one court to the next court.
