Remembering Madam Justice Robyn Diamond

The Organising Committee of the Hong Kong Children's Issues Forum is saddened to hear of the passing of Madam Justice Robyn Diamond in May 2018.  Madam Justice Robyn Diamond was an innovative, learned and dedicated judge, working in some of the most demanding areas of family and child law including international child protection and child abduction and relocation cases. Her work as one of the International Network of Judges working on Hague Convention cases was significant, particularly her work developing the Hague Convention Electronic Bench Book.

Madam Justice Diamond was also a supporter and friend of the Hong Kong Children's Issues Forum, speaking at both the Children's Issues Forum 2 in 2012 and the Children's Issues Forum 3 in 2015, and contributing an important chapter to the Children's Issues Forum 2015 publication, "Reforming Hong Kong's Child & Family Justice System".

The Organising Committee is grateful for the wisdom, humour and kindness that Madam Justice Robyn Diamond always brought to Forum proceedings and send their sincerest condolences to her family and colleagues.
