2017 Selden Society lecture - Ian Hanger AM QC on McKenzie v McKenzie [1971] P 33

In McKenzie v McKenzie [1971] P 33, the English Court of Appeal unanimously affirmed the important principle that any person conducting proceedings in court is entitled to quiet assistance from a person of their choice. Mr Hanger shares his experiences of his role in McKenzie v McKenzie and discusses its subsequent influence on the modern practice allowing parties in a trial process the assistance of a ‘McKenzie friend’.
