Description:
Gareth Jonathan-Jones was called to the Bar in 1991.

Gareth initially specialised in civil work, but also advised in serious fraud and was junior counsel in larger criminal trials. Applying this legal experience he made the decision to specialise in family law - a unique and challenging legal field which has become his particular interest.

Gareth takes instructions in all areas of private and public law and represents parents, guardians and local authorities.

2009 Reported Decisions

RE: A (RESIDENTIAL ASSESSMENT) [2009] EWHC 865 (Fam) [2009] 2 FLR 443, Court: Family Division, Munby J

Issues: Whether S38 (6) CA 1989 assessment can take place in a family home rather than a residential assessment centre - is the FPC an appropriate forum to consider this application in the future?
