Hi All,

Quick question. I have a family Court hearing coming up next week and today was emailed to say that the location has been changed from a county court to a magistrates. Is this simply a location change or does it mean the case itself is being treated differently?

Many thanks in advance.

I read online that magistrates and county courts were combined into a family court some while back:
