TA v SB [2025] EWFC 61 (B)5 March 2025
HHJ Muzaffer. The only question the court was concerned with was what should happen to the jointly-owned FMH. However, this case illustrates the difficulties arising when one party lacks capacity to litigate and is dependent on the Official Solicitor, but where security for that party’s costs may not be readily available.

Family Proceedings and Litigation Capacity
An integral yet little discussed part of our role as family law professionals is to ensure that our clients, and other parties and witnesses, are able to fully engage in the proceedings. When we refer to proceedings in this context, it is important to note that this incorporates both the court process and any voluntary process. This can relate to vulnerable parties, such as parties who are victims of domestic abuse or parties with a disability, or protected parties.
