First published in 1999, this book responds to the meaning given to
the welfare principle attracts a great deal of controversy and
explores the reasons for the controversy and examines the growing
legal significance attached to the principle. In an illuminating
and accessible manner, this informative volume: provides a record
of the milestones which have shaped the principles development by
tracing its evolution over the centuries discloses the essence of
what has been termed 'the golden thread running through the common
law' provides a measure of the impact of the principle on the
coherence of modern family law by assessing the significance of its
present operational role and functions. The welfare principle began
as a common law principle forged in medieval England, yet it has
informed the law relating to children in some of the most developed
western societies. It is now being refracted through international
legislative and judicial developments to challenge the future shape
of family law in the UK. By considering the ways in which the legal
system has shaped and been shaped by the principle, this invaluable
book leads its readers to an appreciation of the content and
structural influence of the welfare principle.
