Acknowledgements
As ever, Resolution's Precedents for Consent Orders represents the combined wisdom of dozens of members and expert colleagues. Many thanks to all members who gave feedback, suggestions and advice.
Also a huge thank you to James Pirrie of FLIP for responding to countless requests for help and advice during a critical time of change. His generosity to Resolution is massively appreciated. Such has been his contribution that we'd like to think any errors in the text, should there be any, are entirely his.
We must also thank the Association of District Judges for their patient and invaluable feedback - not just on the Orders and Agreements but also through regular liaison meetings.
We are also extremely grateful to David Burrows for reading the draft and for making many corrections and improvements.
As ever, Jan Ellis of ellisfoster and James Copson of Withers gave valuable advice on the financial, tax and trust issues. Pauline Fowler of Hughes Fowler Carruthers and Clive Weir of Albert Goodman very kindly read and commented on the pensions section.
Specific thanks are due to Duncan Ranton of Bishop & Sewell and Chris McIntosh for help with the undertaking on religious divorce. Christopher Pocock QC of 1 Kings Bench Walk very kindly supplied the arbitration sections.
The committee would like to thank Charles Russell ' and particularly Joanna Yiannitsarou - for hosting (long!) meetings in their beautiful offices. The publications team would also like to thank everyone at Family Law in Partnership for answering several hundred questions in the corridor as they tried to go about their own lawful business.
