On the rare occasions that conduct is a relevant factor, the
following approach may be adopted; Allegations of conduct should be included in Form E although the parties should be discouraged from raising allegations of conduct unless absolutely necessary; The district judge should clarify at the
directions appointment whether conduct is being pursued and, if so, order particulars to be given of the
precise allegations relied on and give
directions as to the evidence to be adduced by each party; An alternative route may be to defer the filing and service of conduct statements until after the family dispute resolution hearing to allow potential settlement to be explored; It should be taken into account that conduct is one of the relevant considerations in determining whether proceedings should be transferred to the High Court, although conduct alone is unlikely to be sufficient to justify a transfer.
