EU Treaty impact on family law

On 18th October in Lisbon, the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, announced an agreement of EU leaders on a new EU treaty. Distinctly not a constitution, we are told, but what will be its impact on English family law? Specifically, does it weaken our position to oppose applicable law and other reforms contrary to our culture and traditions? Dr Helen Stalford of Liverpool University, a leading commentator of European family law, has carried out an examination of the new treaty for the Presidents International committee. David Hodson summarises in an article on the information pages, and published in December Family Law.
