Litigation friends can step into proceedings if someone lacks the capacity to conduct litigation. They take on a large amount of responsibility but who can be appointed and how do they go about this? blakemorgan.co.uk/litigation… #LitigationFriend #FamilyLaw

Excellent #litigationfriend seminar from @outertemple this evening with an all star cast. Thanks to everyone including chair @JohnMQC

I've received some lovely emails from a #litigationfriend this week including: "xxxx (her daughter) would like you to be her lawyer if at all possible." #clientcare #workingtogether #justice #dogbite @sleeblackwell @SleeBlackwellPI @dogbitesolicitr

#litigationfriend Hi Jasmine You got us the outcome which we required. Thank you for your service, and for your perseverance. I hope that we will not need your services for another dog bite case in the future:) #kindwords #jobsatisfaction @sleeblackwell @SleeBlackwellPI

Read our blog to find out more information on bringing a claim on behalf of children! #personalinjury #litigationfriend

Infants cannot legally pursue a claim themselves as they lack the necessary legal capacity. Instead, a litigation friend needs to be appointed to represent the injured child and act on their behalf. What does this entail? hja.net/bringing-claims-on-b… #litigationfriend

Great article on who can be appointed as a litigation friend. I often act for children, vulnerable adults or those lacking capacity in disputed will or inheritance act cases. Litigation friends are not just for compensation cases. #litigationfriend #contentiousprobate

We are very much looking forward to delivering #CourtofProtection #LitigationFriend training to @Peoplefirst111 #Cumbria today alongside Simon Garlick of @DSBarristers @IM_HelenSmith @IMPublicLaw #experthandhumantouch

So pleased to be able to support a friend #RoyalCourtsofJustice as #LitigationFriend for the 1st time in my life. What a day to do it on.

Interesting to see the #CourtofProtection has permitted the mother to be appointed as #litigationfriend theguardian.com/law/2017/may… @MorrLaw
