The effects of extended lockdowns didn't affect access to family law courts
The number of people seeking court orders linked to cases of domestic violence rose for the fifth year in a row last year.
The Courts Service annual report recorded 12 percent more cases coming before the courts in 2020, when compared with 2019.
The effects of extended lockdowns didn't affect access to family law courts, which remained open as part of the 'We're Still Here' campaign.
Angela Denning, CEO of the Courts Service, says the figures reflect how the pandemic affected society as a whole
