Use this form to provide information and documents in cases when you think an adult or child needs to have the Official Solicitor appointed as their litigation friend in a private law family case.
The form helps the Official Solicitor understand the situation and make decisions more quickly.
Any legal professional can complete the form if they act for a party to the proceedings. If there is no legal professional, the referrer can complete the form.
