For family law, the general position is that Public law proceedings and the representation of children remain in scope under Part 1, Schedule 1 of LASPO.

There is a marked difference between how a statement is taken from a criminal witness and a civil witness. The Chancery Division Guide [19] is trying to reduce the gap between what a statement should look like in civil and crime. “A witness statement should simply cover those issues, but only those issues, on which the party serving the statement wishes that witness to give evidence in chief. It should therefore be confined to facts of which the witness can give evidence. It is not, for example, the function of a witness statement to provide a commentary on the documents in the trial bundle, nor to set out quotations from such documents, nor to engage in matters of argument, expressions of opinion or submissions about the issues, nor to make observations about the evidence of other witnesses. Witness statements should not deal with other matters merely because they may arise in the course of the trial.” In those circumstances, it makes sense for statements in both the civil and criminal case to be identical. There are obvious advantages to this approach.The other legal deposit libraries in the British Isles covered by the Agency for the Legal Deposit Libraries are Cambridge University Library, the University of Oxford's Bodleian Library, the National Library of Scotland, the National Library of Wales and the Library of Trinity College Dublin.
